Older versions of Bacula (at least the old ones you talk about)
never did so called attribute spooling. The problem is probably the
amount of storage on the storage daemon see commit_attribute_spool()
function that emits the error "Fseek on attributes file failed".

You have a couple of options:

- disable attribute spooling (see spoolattributes setting on director)
- make sure enough space is available on disk for spooling the
  attributes first to disk before they are batch inserted into
  the database. Keep in mind that disabling attribute spooling
  and batch insert will slow down the overall backup probably.)
  The attribute spool files are created in either the spool directory
  or the working directory.
