Your config about password seems to be correct ( give a particular attention to 
" " the password)
Next step is looking about network connexion between A and B.
B dir,fd,sd have to use real ip no localhost or 127.0.0.1.
If firewall open the port for bacula 9101 9102 9103 or what port you use on A 
and B.

can you ping / telnet the host B from A ?

you could increase the debuglevel message (see manual) to have more 
informations.
