Your config file seems ok to me except that you have omitted the
first line of the config file which probably looks like "Director {"

If you are sure that you can manually connect to the mysql using
the same connection data and the same environment (e.g. the same user
used for running bacula-dir daemon) and you are sure that there is
no some kind of restriction or security in place (e.g. selinux)
than in my opinion it could only be setup of the bacula database
in the mysql.

Have you performed a major bacula upgrade recently or some kind
of database restore?

You have mentioned "the unfortunate incident".
If you had to recreate the bacula database make sure that you
(or your puppet configuration) perform commands used for
creation of the bacula database and setting appropriate
privileges.

That would be:
create_mysql_database
make_mysql_tables
grant_mysql_privileges
