By the way... In Debian, Bacula Director is started like this:

/usr/sbin/bacula-dir -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf -u bacula -g bacula

That is, it's told to drop its privileges at some point during the
startup process.
Hence re-try your debug run adding "-u bacula -g bacula" to see if it
stops working if told to drop its privileges.

The next question is if the director also fails if you run it in
foreground? -- you did not tell us.
