I don't know how groups stuff really _should_ work.
But for me it very much looks things don't work that way.
I guess since process is running with gid=disk, group permissions for bacula
seem not to be effective, although process uid=bacula.
I have a uncertain idea that you used to run SD as root?
How is this working with someone else having an autochanger, and SD is run
as root?
Or even without autochanger, does /var/bacula/bacula-sd.9103.state get
updated, when SD is run as bacula:disk and the directory is owned by
root:bacula?
Below is my first experiment with owner setting bacula:bacula
It looks this way may work.
I suggest re-checking this issue, if you consider everything was originally
ok.
At first, I removed an old item "bacula" from /etc/group line disk.
Then, I removed world-writable rights from /var/bacula,
ie. changed from 777 to 770:
drwxrwx--- 2 root bacula 4096 Jun 27 22:22 bacula
This is what happens:
*update
Update choice:
1: Volume parameters
2: Pool from resource
3: Slots from autochanger
Choose catalog item to update (1-3): 3
The defined Storage resources are:
1: File
2: Exabyte Autoloader
Select Storage resource (1-2): 2
Connecting to Storage daemon Exabyte Autoloader at dogbert:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
Device "Exabyte Autoloader" has 10 slots.

3306 Issuing autochanger "list" command.

Then, I changed owner of /var/bacula from root to bacula:
drwxrwx--- 2 bacula bacula 4096 Jun 27 22:22 bacula
*upd
Update choice:
1: Volume parameters
2: Pool from resource
