well i simply added myself to the bacula group and that was enough to
read the bacula config files.  so if i need to now run as root because
of the certs, so be it.

my certs now have the following permissions:

- -rw-r--r-- 1 root   bacula 3195 2011-07-23 16:53 home1.crt
- -r-------- 1 bacula bacula  887 2011-07-23 16:53 home1.key
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root   bacula 1359 2011-07-23 16:52 myca.crt

so bacula should be able to read them all now, yet i'm still getting the
same error `TLS negotiation failed` when trying to run bconsole.

it seems if i followed the guide that Mr. Walton posted[1] that
everything should be working, so maybe the problem is there?  i pretty
much followed it to a tee.  i created the directories, copied the
openssl config, etc.  i followed the section "Create the CA Certificate
and Key" to create the myca.crt and myca.key, continued with the extra
configuration, and then followed the "Create a Server certificate"
section twice to generate my home1.{crt,key} and home2.{crt,key}.  sorry
for being so clueless
