Hello,

The problem is exactly what Bacula says.  The Bacula SD does not have
the appropriate permissions to access
that directory.  Note: there are 3 permissions that Bacula needs: Read,
Write, and Execute.  The Execute permission
is needed so that Bacula can create a file in the directory.  From my
experience, you are probably lacking the
execute permission on that directory or one above it.



Best regards,
Kern
