I decided to revert to square one...or rather try to.
I uninstalled bacula and Mysql. Re-installed mysql and then followed the
Howto install bacula into deb, link taken from nearby post.
All went well until the ./grant_mysql_privileges where I got the error
message:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using
password: No)
Error creating privileges.
I thought I would try to delete the bacula database from mysql, but lack the
password to access it, so that stumped me.

I'd suggest to try to run the DIR as root from the shell, in the foreground,
with debug output enabled once. That should work in any case, unless the
configuration is incomplete or the catalog is not available.
After that, verify which user you ususally use to run the DIR as - probably
"bacula".
The important thing to do is, after running the DIR as root, to change the
file ownership of some essential files it needs to the normal Bacula user -
log file, state file, bootstrap files and spool files.
I don't know the paths Bacula uses under ubuntu, but something like 'chown
bacula: /var/bacula/working/*' might be needed. Also don't forget to ensure
the bacula user has write permissions to its working directory!
