I commented those lines out

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Restricted Director, used by tray-monitor to get the
#   status of the file daemon
#
#Director {
#  Name = @monitor_name@
#  Password = "@monitor_password@"
#  Monitor = yes
#}

# Send all messages except skipped files back to Director
Messages {
  Name = Standard
  director = bacula1.usmetrotel.com-dir = all, !skipped, !restored
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is what happens when I try to run the EXE manually.

Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]
(C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\lkemp>cd \program files\bacula

C:\Program Files\Bacula>bacula-fd.exe

C:\Program Files\Bacula>
24-Feb 16:11 bacula-fd: ERROR TERMINATION at /home/kern/bacula/k/bacula/src/lib/
parse_conf.c:898
Config error: Cannot open config file "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Appli
cation Data\Bacula/bacula-fd.conf": No such file or directory

Is this something I can fix? There is no *-fd.conf in that location. Can I tell 
the program to stop looking there?

Its not because of the following invalid configuration:

That is not your fault the old install for windows makes an invalid 
configuration. You need to remove that section and the fd should start. You can 
test by manually running the client exe.
