Might be that I am completely missunderstanding your issue, but I think you 
were fooled by a license issue that
keeps debian lenny (and so ubuntu starting with 8.10) packages from supporting 
encryption at all.

data and transport encryption work fine with the 2.44 packages in debian lenny, 
you just need to download the
source packages and recompile.

http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/07/msg00144.html

apt-get build-dep bacula
aptitude install libssl-dev openssl
aptitude source bacula
cd bacula-2<press tab>
vim debian/rules
# look for the rules line for bacula-fd and add --enable-openssl, I think, but 
you can easily look that up
debian/rules binary
# if all packages compile fine
dpkg -i ../bacula-common*.deb
dpkg -i ../bacula-fd*.deb

After that you will have a bacula-fd installed that is able to perform data and 
transport encryption.
