Hi Alex, on my openSUSE installation I have added a /etc/sysconfig/bacula file 
containing this
cat bacula
#!/bin/sh
DIROPTS="-u bacula -g bacula"
SDOPTS="-u bacula -g bacula"
FDOPTS="-u root -g bacula"

and in /etc/init.d/bacula-dir bacula-sd bacula-fd init script

bacula-dir, bacula-sd, bacula-fd add a line to read it

# source process status functions
# this gives us funtion rc_status -v to tell us if we succeed or fail
. /etc/rc.status
# Read our bacula configuration
. /etc/sysconfig/bacula

And for each dameon add the appropriate options
(here for bacula-dir)

    start)
       echo -n "Starting the Bacula Director: "
       /sbin/startproc /usr/sbin/bacula-dir $2 $DIROPTS -c 
/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
       RETVAL=$?

(for bacula-sd)
       /sbin/startproc /usr/sbin/bacula-sd $2 $SDOPTS -c 
/etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf

(for bacula-fd)
       /sbin/startproc /usr/sbin/bacula-fd $2 $FDOPTS -c 
/etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf


This can be largely optimized, but do the trick to start bacula daemons with 
right users.

I your case, as you already start them with root, you have to check every media 
for storage (if file based) and also the working
dir (usually /var/lib/bacula) have the owner set to bacula, and proper right to 
them ..

Hope this give you a way under lizards ...
