The partition itself must also have the correct owner and permissions. 
It should look like:

# ls -la 49299ccc-6489-43f8-9536-d63dd3de9663

drwxrwx--- 3 bacula bacula   4096 26 apr 08:10 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root   root        0 26 apr 08:10 ..
-rw-r----- 1 bacula bacula      0 26 apr 09:34 c2_0001_0001
-rw-r----- 1 bacula bacula      0 26 apr 09:34 c2_0001_0002
-rw-r----- 1 bacula bacula      0 26 apr 09:34 c2_0001_0003
-rw-r--r-- 1 bacula bacula      7 26 apr 09:34 index
-rw-r--r-- 1 bacula bacula      1 26 apr 09:34 loaded0

Likewise, the work directory, (determined by the work_dir= in the 
vchanger config), should have permissions such that bacula:bacula has 
read/write permissions for the directory and all files within it.

Finally, make sure that the vchanger config file is readable by 
bacula:bacula.

Then the best way to test is to run as user bacula....
# su bacula
$ vchanger /path/to/vchanger.conf list
1:c2_0001_0001
2:c2_0001_0002
3:c2_0001_0003

You may have to temporarily change /etc/passwd to allow user bacula to 
run in a interactive shell.
