Hello.

I have two problems, still trying to setup my first bacula system.

The scenario: I have an ubuntu server 12.0.4 with bacula running on it 
and a windows server, on which I want to save the backup files / 
volumes. Best case would be to mount and unmount the windows server 
folder (via samba) during a bacula job.

I added the windows server's folder to fstab. I can mount and unmount it 
via terminal.
I modified the sudoers file so that bacula is allowed to use those 
commands without requiring a password.

In the director file, I added thesescripts to my backup job, where <IP> 
is the windows server:

Run Before Job = "sudo mount //<IP>/Data/Bacula"
Run After Job = "sudo umount //<IP>/Data/Bacula"

Now here are the problems:

1. the scripts in bacula-dir.conf don't seem t have any effect. I tried 
mounting via terminal and commenting out the "Run Before Job"-part. 
After running the job, the folder was still mounted though. Tried it the 
other way around, too.

2. (This is not so much related to bacula) When attempting a backup, it 
cancels with a timeout: "Fatal error: max run time exceeded, job 
cancelled.". Prior to this I already get an error from the storage 
daemon "Permission denied", while it tries to write to / create a volume.
I tried making bacula the owner of the mounted folder, but that didn't 
help either.

Thanks in advance for any advise.
