I've got a setup that's fairly simple: a bacula director, sd, and fd on a 
debian box, and an fd on a remote windows box (that is, it's not even on the 
LAN). The relevant sections of the config file are:


/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf (on the "server"):

Director {
  Name = ptnv-dir
  DIRport = 9101
  QueryFile = "/etc/bacula/query.sql"
  WorkingDirectory = "/var/bacula/working"
  PidDirectory = "/var/run"
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
  Password = "jveb**IGHappe"
  Messages = Daemon
}

Client {
  Name = carlos-fd
  Address = 66.100.53.72
  FDPort = 9102
  Catalog = MyCatalog
  Password = "jveb**IGHappe"
  File Retention = 30 days
  Job Retention = 6 months
  AutoPrune = yes
}

Storage {
  Name = File
  Address = [externally resolvable ip address of localhost - not 127.0.0.1]
  SDPort = 9103
  Password = "jveb**IGHappe"
  Device = FileStorage
  Media Type = File
}




F:\\bacula\\bin\\bacula-fd.conf (on the client, a windows machine not on the 
LAN of the server)

Director {
  Name = ptnv-dir
  Password = "jveb**IGHappe"
}

FileDaemon {
  Name = carlos-fd
  FDport = 9102
  WorkingDirectory = /bacula/working
  Pid Directory = /bacula/working
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}


The director connects fine to the sd (I know this as it spits no errors, and 
local backups - that is to say, backups where the fd is on the same machine are 
the director - work perfectly fine). However, trying to run a job on carlos-fd 
fails with:


Fatal error: Unable to authenticate with File daemon. Possible causes:
Passwords or names not the same or
Maximum Concurrent Jobs exceeded on the FD or
FD networking messed up (restart daemon).


I've checked the docs (though not the list archive, apologies - gmane was 
behaving strangely earlier), and I'm thoroughly at a loss. Any suggestions? Any 
extra info I need to post?

Thanks,
Arjun
