Wow, this is dangerous ! Others must not be able to read and/or write
your tape device ! I strongly advice your to remove read and write
access to others.

Almost the same for these configuration files if you use password
authentication mechanism and not client certificate ones.
Even if you are the only user of this machine, it's a better idea to set
correct access rights from the beginning. You mostly can't anticipate on
what is gonna be the next months, or years.
I have the following:
-rw-r----- 1 root bacula 26086 Mar 6 00:59 bacula-dir.conf
-rw-r----- 1 root bacula 1052 Feb 2 11:13 bacula-fd.conf
-rw-r----- 1 root bacula 2574 Mar 3 17:26 bacula-sd.conf

Do you mean installing packages ?

This error, as long as I know, is not from Bacula Director but from
Bacula Storage Daemon, as long as this is the Storage Daemon which
accesses to tape drives via device files.
About this specific error message:
- Bacula Storage Daemon, packaged by Debian, runs as user bacula. It's
okay because this user is in group tape, owning tape device files.
- However, only root is allowed to do this MTSETDRVBUFFER (kernel driver
wished limitation I guess). I don't think it's related to your Bacula
Director problem. My Bacula Storage Daemon returns the same error
message, which working pretty well.

Maybe you can try running Bacula Director in debug+foreground mode:
$ bacula-dir -f -d99
Never had to do it for myself, but I think it can be very interesting.
