Seems to be a permission issue, i experienced a similar problem last week after upgrading Bacula.
The following response from Simone corrected the errors i had backing up my catalog.
See below (hope that helps, also check mailing list to see full thread)

Restore /etc/bacula to the default permissions + bacula group:

chown -R root:root /etc/bacula

chgrp bacula /etc/bacula \
        /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
        /etc/bacula/query.sql

Well, this should be better; same result but a bit more restrictive.
Fixes also the console permissions to be more restrictive while preventing the bacula daemon to poke with other files in case of being compromised:

chown -R root:root /etc/bacula

chmod 755 /etc/bacula

chmod 640 /etc/bacula/*

chgrp bacula /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf /etc/bacula/query.sql

Anyone, who can lead me in the right direction?  I have been tasked with testing bacula so we can hopefully moved from our commercial solutions since it doesn't meet our requirements at this time.  Bacula, seems to be the perfect solution but I have to do a lots of testing.  Almost, everything runs with the exception of catalog I i'm attaching the error code, any help will be highly appreciated:
