That is most likely not a database.  It is highly unlikely for
PostgreSQL to be storing data there.

I suspect the problem starts with the pg_dump.  I think what you want to
do is:

  pg_dump bacula > bacula.sql

This dump the bacula database and store it in a file, bacula.sql.

PostgreSQL database names do not usually contain paths.  You can view
your PostgreSQL databases with this command: psql -l
