John/Carlo.. Thanks for the reply!! I found the problem.. I'd checked to see iptables status on the client node, and found it was off (INPUT default ACCEPT), but I *didn't* check the Bacula "server" machine.. Stopped iptables and now it works fine...
Thanks again.. I'm betting I'm gonna have a LOT more questions soon!!

Also is there a firewall that prevents the FD from initiating a connection to the SD?
