The "wilddir" option is what you want, I believe.  If you want to get
fancy, you could
also use "regexdir".

The Bacula wildcards don't seem to necessarily follow the standard
shell globbing rules.  Check it out:

insyte@graviton:~$ cat snort.lst
/path/to/stuff/dovecot49/bleep
/this/path/should/not/match/file.txt
/path/to/dovecot1000/snort
/dovecot_was_here/tmp/lordy_lordy.asc
/no/match/here/please
insyte@graviton:~$ bwild -f snort.lst
Enter a wild-card: *dovecot*
    1: /path/to/stuff/dovecot49/bleep
    3: /path/to/dovecot1000/snort
    4: /dovecot_was_here/tmp/lordy_lordy.asc
Enter a wild-card:
insyte@graviton:~$
