I take the scripts provided by Bacula as being suggestions.  I always 
copy
them out of the base installation location, and modify them for my 
specific
needs.

Case in point: mtx-changer.

I suggest that you do similar.

FYI, this is what I do:

   RunBeforeJob = "/home/bacula/make_catalog_backup.new MyCatalog"
   RunBeforeJob = "/usr/bin/tar -czf /wdc/bacula/MyCatalog.tgz 
/wdc/bacula/MyCatalog.sql"

Where /home/bacula/make_catalog_backup.new is a Python script, I think 
provided by Unbuntu,
which searches the bacula-dir.conf file for the Catalog entry called 
MyCatalog.  It uses
that information to connect to the database server and dumps that 
single database.

HTH.
