As such, Bacula runs fine in RHEL 5.4 (I use CentOS, but it's the same) 
without any need of sudo rights. BUT, it is possible you may have written a 
custom configuration that would try to use sudo for some special task. As an 
example, just yesterday I was testing the use of ether-wake (seems to 
require to be run as root) to power-up a NAS box I'm planning to use from 
bacula-sd.

So, the question now becomes this: did you set up this Bacula install by 
yourself, or did you just inherit its admin duties from someone else? I 
would say that never grant sudo rights to anyone if you don't know why they 
are needed.

Study the logs, and try to find out what it is about. For example, is 
certain bacula job starting always at the same time when that event appears? 
Either it has to be some custom config of your installation, or someone evil 
process running as bacula may reside in your system... the latter might be 
the case if you got your install rpms from some untrusted source.
