You have an extremely old Bacula catalog database created by an
extremely old Bacula installation.  I would do the following:

- Delete the corrupted catalog entirely.
- Restore the catalog again from your MySQL dump.
- Download the latest Bacula source.
- Successively run the series of DB upgrade scripts to upgrade your
catalog from v9 up to the current version (I'm not sure what Bacula
version Debian is shipping with lenny, but you need to go to v11 if it's
Bacula 3.x, v12 if it's Bacula 5).
- Start Bacula and check that it runs.

If, after doing this, you still show only a small number of your clients
listed or still cannot access your old volumes, you probably want to
restore your previous bacula-dir.conf and bacula-sd.conf and copy the
appropriate data, then restart Bacula.

If you're still having problems after that, then we can figure out what
needs doing next.
