Well, since it makes bacula run, it IS a solution allthough I admit it IS bad.

May be the folks who package bacula should look into this because if you don't 
change the userID and groupID somehow in /etc/sysconfig/bacula-dir, 
/etc/sysconfig/bacula-fd and/or /etc/sysconfig/bacula-sd bacula wont start. I'll 
play with the values to see if I can find a better solution. I'll keep you posted.
