ok, so here's what I have so far:

The director is set to read files from /etc/bacula/conf.d  (see 13.2.3 
in the latest bacula manual)
The client creates a special conf file.
The client uses scp to copy that file to /etc/bacula/conf.d in the director

So far this works ok, now the problem is how do I tell the director to 
reload?

So I can do this, using some bash magic:

bconsole < <(echo reload)

And that my friends... works!
