You should exec the BeforeRun command.
try a
#su 'bacula-dir username'
#cd ~ (should drive you to /var/lib/bacula
#/usr/bin/awk -f /etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup_awk -v cat1=MyCatalog 
/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
and see if you got a result.
I don't understand awk language and normally the script should reside on 
/usr/lib/bacula instead of /etc/bacula
so a
/usr/bin/awk -f /usr/lib/bacula/make_catalog_backup_awk -v cat1=MyCatalog 
/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
should work.
