I just sent small test job from my mail server - 15 GB in 1 directory and 5 files. After 30 minutes it has transfered just 2 GBs to spool with average transfer rate at 1.6 MB/s. So slowness is not caused by dealing with lots of files. I'm thinking that maybe CentOS compilation of bacula client is somehow broken. I've used .src.rpm downloaded from bacula.org to build my packages. OTOH I'm using exactly same packages on two more machines and they work fine.
