Perhaps there are different assumtions on where your mysql.sock resides?
It doesn't exactly claim 'Permission denied', 'Authorization failed' or
similar, it might as well be unable to access the socket due to
permissions or location.
You could try and connect via tcp/ip to verify, just add the
DB Address = "localhost";
statement to your catalog definition.

Catalog {
  Name = MyCatalog
  dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "bacula"; DB Address = "localhost"; dbpassword = 
"DBPass"
}
