Sorry for the delay.
I've got it working finally.
Following your tip, I had to remove the '-u' and '-p' in the script call.
Then I had a write problem :
I'm backing up to /backup and I had to create a /backup/catalog directory
chowned to bacula:bacula. Once done, everything ran smoothly.
Thanks.

The only change I made to my stock Debian Etch bacula-dir.conf line
which
calls the make_catalog_backup script was to change the RunBeforeJob line
from:-
RunBeforeJob
= "/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup -u<username> -p<password>"
to:-
RunBeforeJob
= "/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup bacula bacula passhere"
with the last of those being the password you set for the bacula user on
the
bacula mysql database. I found this to be in the file:-
/etc/dbconfig-common/bacula-director-mysql.conf
contained in quotes after the line beginning with
dbc_dbpass=
assuming you used dbconfig to set this up during bacula install
The rights on my unchanged make_catalog_backup script are
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1376 2007-02-22 19:47 make_catalog_backup

Which user does the script run fine under from the command line, as the
director (which is the program I think runs this script) is run as the
bacula
user on etch with stock packages (my versions are 1.38.11-8).

Although I am still working out other parts of bacula to my satisfaction
this
part now works Just fine.
Not really an answer I'm afraid but thought I'd share my findings on this
thus
far.
