I don't know if this is your problem, but there is a bug in VSS for both 
Vista and Windows 2008 that causes VSS to time out and fail. I don't 
know what the symptom would be in bacula, but it's entirely possible 
that you are seeing that. Check your event log for any related events.

The issue is described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956136 and 
also allows you to download a hotfix for it.
