I think I found the reason:
While recovering my default config for "replace" was "ifnewer". Changing this to "always" recovers correct ownership and permissions ...
So, it is working as expected. Good.
But ... isn't this a bug? My target directory did not exist. So I would expect that everything is exacly restored even if I don't want newer files to be overridden -- there were no files or directories in place.
If you think it is a BUG then check documentation what is expected behavior in this case. If expected behavior is different what you observed then fill a bug report at http://bugs.bacula.org/. It will be nice if you check a source and prepare a patch.
