My job for backing up the catalog fails with:

Could not stat /var/bacula/bacula.sql: ERR=No such file or directory

If I run the RunBeforeJob command with the arguments it's given in the
job definition, it creates /var/bacula/bacula.sql.
    

Does the job report mention the run before job?

  

Do you have any idea what the problem could be?
    

Well, it would be worth checking what happens when you, as the bacula 
user, execute '/usr/local/libexec/bacula/make_catalog_backup bacula
bacula'. Two likely reasons for that not to create the needed SQL dump 
of the catalog are 1) wrong credetials to the database, i.e. you need 
to specify the correct user and password, or 2) the dump goes to some 
other place.

If the make_catalog_backup script runs without error messages, you 
should have a look into that script and see where it puts the dump.

bacula"
  # This deletes the copy of the catalog
  RunAfterJob  = "/usr/local/libexec/bacula/delete_catalog_backup"
  Write Bootstrap = "/var/bacula/BackupCatalog.bsr"
  Priority = 11                   # run after main backup
