Hello.

I've done a new installation of Bacula 5.0.0 on FreeBSD 7.2p6/amd64.
My bacula-sd.conf has the following:

Device {
   Name = DAT160
   Description = "DAT160 for FreeBSD"
   Media Type = DAT160
   Archive Device = /dev/nsa0
   AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
   AlwaysOpen = yes
   Offline On Unmount = no
   Hardware End of Medium = no
   BSF at EOM = yes
   Backward Space Record = no
   Fast Forward Space File = no
   TWO EOF = yes
#  If you have smartctl, enable this, it has more info than tapeinfo
   Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -d scsi -l error /dev/nsa0'"
}

I can run "smartctl -H -d scsi -l error /dev/nsa0" as root, but in email 
reports I get:

Alert: Smartctl open device: /dev/nsa0 failed: Permission denied
3997 Bad alert command: sh -c 'smartctl -H -d scsi -l error /dev/nsa0': 
ERR=Child exited with code 2.


I thought it was a permission problem, but:

#ps aux | grep acula

Any hint?
