My *guess* (I'm not using Ubuntu) is that these credentials (especially the 
password) are, or are expected to be, inside the file
/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup_awk

I think this is an Ubuntu-spesific detail to improve security. If they were 
given as script arguments, the password would appear to anyone running ps 
command at proper time. Actually, this is how the default is for original 
Bacula.

If you don't know the password, have a look at catalog directive in your 
bacula-dir.conf file. It's propably mentioned there.


My second guess is that this is a modification made by the Ubuntu 
developers, not Bacula developers. So, if you won't get help in this list, 
you'd better to ask this in some Ubuntu forum.

Timo
