Hello.
I've had some troubles with 5.20, but I'm not sure they are the same you 
are seeing. I even wrote about this on questions@...

In my case the problem was that:
_ older PERLs used to symlink /usr/local/bin/perl to /usr/bin/perl, but 
5.20 does not;
_ make_catalog_backup.pl starts with "#!/usr/bin/env perl", which finds 
/usr/local/bin/perl when run as root, but does not when run from Bacula, 
since /usr/local/bin/ is not in path.

So I could either:
_ try and make Bacula see /usr/local/bin/ in path;
_ make the symlink myself;
_ modify the scripts to start with "#!/usr/local/bin/perl".

I choose the third option and, after that, everything is running fine.



 From your mail I think something actually runs on your system; are you 
sure, however, the correct perl binary has been picked up?
Could you try modifying the scripts as above?

  bye
