Seems like bacula got stuck in some cyclic/recursive chroot jail that is set up for named (FC5 /var/named/chroot). I almost have a patch ready for logging each file as it is backed up into $BACULA/working/$CLIENT.$JOB. I'll submit that patch when it works then I'll see if there is some way to detect a recursive hell in find().
