Great. I don't know VMWare ESX that well :-)

I don't know. But if it does, there are rpms for RHEL3 available which 
are used by at least one of my customers. Just point your browser to 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=50727&package_id=76408 
and you'll find a bacula-client-2.2.8-1.el3.i386.rpm file, which would 
be worth a try.

None, as long as you can use the more specific rpms.

Yes, just download and install the source rpm and run rpmbuild with 
the appropriate command line switches. You'll need a full development 
environment, though, which might not be on the VMWare server.
