A Run Before Job command is executed on the director machine, a Client 
Run Before Job command on the FD machine.

Thanks for the password :-)

You should change it NOW.

Yes - Read the manual for mysqldump. There are some options you should 
consider for good results. Think about locking, key disabling, 
--add-drop-tables for example. This depends on your restore needs, though.

Make sure the command you execute results in the action you want. Run it 
from a shell, as the user Bacula would run it as.

Make sure there are no errors. For example, I could imagine that 
--all-databases might conflict with giving a limited account to use.

Verify that the database dump actually contains all the info you need.

And, last not least, do you have any error messages?
