They ship three versions of bscan for each of the three different director backends. Just use the appropriate version of bscan that corresponds to your director backend. i.e. /usr/lib/bacula/bscan.mysql if you use mysql. The options are as shown in the bscan manpage. Note I think that Debian/testing packages have a bscan executable but you are best off using the version that you currently have installed. Hope this helps.
