Hi, For starters, a bit more info on your setup might help somewhat. Info like, version of bacula on client/director, OS of server running director, whether you have other clients working successfully, or is this a new bacula install. Also, whether you installed from rpms or compiled it yourself (if you installed the director on something other than Windows)
Relevent snippets from your config files would also be useful. That aside, see below for more comments.

Second the names are pretty simple and are Not using passwords? Is that even possible? I cant test it, but everything I've read indicates the passwords are mandatory - try setting them to something simple - there is a great diagram on the page linked in the error message which shows all the values that need to match in each config file. If you haven't already, it's probably worth using it to ensure that everything that should match does. > the same across the board on everything as far as I can tell.

Under Linux this is achieved by adding a -dnn to the command line when nn is the level of info you want. Windows has something similar, but I'm not familiar with the specifics. Keep increasing it until you get enough info - I'm not familiar with the levels, but somewhere around 1000 is full disclosure I believe (at least I've never seen any suggestions to use higher than this) Posting a relevent excerpt of the debug log to the list might also help someone identify your problem.
