Sorry for butting in here, but I've been following this thread.

You can't change the InnoDB block size unless you recompile from source, from 
what I understand...but that's besides the point.

Using InnoDB adds quite a bit of overhead to most database operations; 
shouldn't Bacula be using MyISAM tables, which are much faster?  My thinking is 
that there is not a lot of concurrency with database reads and writes, and 
probably not much need for referential integrity...or am I missing something?
