Christina,
Pools are referenced only in one file, the director configuration file.
They are referenced in multiple places in that file, though, so if you
change a pool name in one place in that file, you must change it
wherever it appears. However, you haven't provided nearly enough
information above to determine what the actual problem is. That error
message looks incomplete, and lacks context, but it doesn't look as
though a pool name is the problem.
Are you certain you changed NOTHING else?
Do you know that Bacula was working before? You said it was "mostly"
configured. Depending what parts *aren't* configured, that can be a bit
like the light switch being "mostly" on.
