I am trying to run bacula on a mixed LAN with some Win XP/Vista machines
and one Ubuntu 10.04 Server.
The server has the bacula 5.0.1 package installed, while on the Windows
XP machine I have bacula-win32-5.0.3.exe installed.

-----

As I am very new to bacula, I'm sure I am missing something, but have no
clue what or where to look.

Any hints or pointers are most welcome.

TIA

The Windows installer asks for the director name but doesn't set the
password correctly. Copy the password from XP-fd.conf to the bacula-dir.conf

Copying the password did not seem to make a difference.
As a test I've installed bacula 5.0.1 bacula-console-qt, bacula-console
and bacula-common packages in a VMWare Ubuntu box on WinVista.
The director (also 5.0.1) runs on the machine 'geek', not on the local
machine.

Calling up just bconsole I get only:
/user@ubuntu:~$ sudo bconsole
Connecting to Director geek:9101
user@ubuntu:~$/

/user@ubuntu:~$ sudo bconsole -t
user@ubuntu:~$/

Running BAT gives me the same error and behaves the same in every other
way, first it does connect, but then fails with the same error message.

So it looks it is not really (or at least not only) a Windows problem!!!

bconsole.conf

I don't have a solution, but some other suggestions...
In bacula-dir.conf, the Password field must match the one listed in the 
client conf files above.
Same for Name parameter.
In /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf check that DirAddress also reports geek
Check also that /etc/hosts doesn't contain an entry where the fqdn of 
geek is matched to 127.0.0.
