Thanks a lot for your help. I added user and group and changed ownership 
of /var/lib/bacula files and it works again (see below).
Is foreground the -f option? If so, it works because I did run it with 
-f option from the begining and always worked, but not in background.
But I still get the state file error in -f mode, still can't find why 
(line 3, the same you noticed first).

/usr/sbin/bacula-dir -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf -u bacula -g bacula 
-f -d 100
