Thanks @Jeremy and @Andre

Turns out I had to set the "SDAddress" property in the bacula-sd config 
elf-definition to the actual address of the server.  If left undefined it binds 
to the first available IP address, which is presumably localhost.  Also needs 
the actual address to be specified for the SLR7 tape device in the bacula-dir 
config "Storage" section.

An unrelated question, but one which naturally occurs now...as the laptop will 
obviously be disconnected at some times, how can I stop the job running if the 
remote client isn't connected?  Otherwise the job will sit there indefinitely 
and block anything afterwards.  Ideally I want it to wait a pre-defined timeout 
(e.g. 2 mins) and then give up until next scheduled time.

Thanks again,
Andrew
