It is possible but I am not sure. I did a quick google search and got
quite a few hits but the first few did not point to any problems
caused by this error. They did point to one question though. Does what
ever user that the bacula-sd runs under have rwx permissions?

You may want to try this test as the bacula user or (whatever user
runs the bacula-sd).
