The filesize and other file attributes are stored in
(psuedo?-)base-64 encoded form in the lstat field of the
'file' table of the catalog database.
I ran into the same problem and, since I'm using Postgresql
for my catalogs, wrote a little pg extension function in C
that is called with an lstat value and the index number of
the stat field wanted. This is used as a base to define
some one-line convenience functions like lstat_size(text),
lstat_mtime(text), etc, which then allows one to define
views like:
CREATE VIEW v_files AS (
SELECT f.fileid,
f.jobid,
CASE fileindex WHEN 0 THEN 'X' ELSE ' ' END AS del,
lstat_size (lstat) AS size,
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE 'epoch' + lstat_mtime (lstat) *
INTERVAL '1 second' AS mtime,
p.path||n.name AS filename
FROM file f
JOIN path p ON p.pathid=f.pathid
JOIN filename n ON n.filenameid=f.filenameid);
which generates results like:
SELECT * FROM v_files WHERE ...whatever...;
fileid | jobid | del | size | mtime | filename

I've found it very convenient and will be happy to
pass it on to anyone interested but have to add a
disclaimer is that this was the first time I've used
C in 20 years, first time I ever wrote a PG extension
function and first time I ever looked at the Bacula
source code, so be warned. :-)

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
