Just in time: I tested and it works.

# bacula-dir.conf

FileSet {
  Name = "Full Set"
  Include {
    Options {
      signature = MD5
    }
    File = "\\|/tmp/list.sh"
  }
}

# /tmp/list.sh 
ls /tmp/dummy*

*list files jobid=8
+----------+
| Filename |
+----------+
| /tmp/dummy1 |
| /tmp/dummy2 |
| /tmp/dummy3 |
+----------+
+-------+---------------+---------------------+------+-------+----------+----------+-----------+
| JobId | Name          | StartTime           | Type | Level | JobFiles | 
JobBytes | JobStatus |
+-------+---------------+---------------------+------+-------+----------+----------+-----------+
|     8 | BackupClient1 | 2016-04-13 16:56:37 | B    | F     |        3 |       
 0 | T         |
