Bacula was being run as a user with nologin as it's shell. I tried
changing the bacula user's shell to ksh, but I still get the error about
not being able to stat bacula.sql. If I run the same command and same
arguments, as the bacula user, it creates bacula.sql, e.g.:
su _bacula
/usr/local/libexec/bacula/make_catalog_backup bacula bacula
Looking at the script, it runs psql and directs the output
to /var/bacula/bacula.sql. Is bacula checking for the file after it
deletes it? What can the problem be?
