I do the same thing, each of my clients write to a different directory:

Here is the device definition in bacula-sd.conf (sanitized version)

Device
{
  Name = client1-SD
  Device Type = File
  Media Type = File
  Archive Device = "/backups/backupfiles/client1"
  LabelMedia = yes;                   # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
  Random Access = Yes;
  AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
  RemovableMedia = no;
  Maximum Network Buffer Size = 65536
}

This is what I have in bacula-dir.conf (sanitized version)

Storage
{
  Name = client1-File
  Address = sdhost
  SDPort = 9103
  Password = "xxxxxxx"
  Device = client1-SD       # see bacula-sd.conf for device config.
  Media Type = File
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
}
 
Pool
{
  Name = client1-BackupDiskPool
  Pool Type = Backup
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
  Use Volume Once = yes
  Recycle = no
  Volume Retention = 2 months         # two months
  Storage = client1-File
  Label Format = 
"client1-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}:${Minute:p/2/0/r}:${Second:p/2/0/r}"
}

Job
{
  Name = client1-BackupToDisk
  Enabled = yes
  Type = Backup
  Client = client1-fd
  FileSet = "client1 File set"
  Schedule = BackupToDisk
  Messages = Standard
  Priority = 10
  Pool = client1-BackupDiskPool
  Write Bootstrap = "/backups/bootstrap/client1-BackupToDisk.bsr"
}
