We ran into this issue when we replaced all our iptables firewalls with Juniper SSG devices. Check the timeout values for the service you defined on your juniper for your bacula ports, the juniper will have a default session time, we found the juniper closes the connection often, and ended up having to disable the timeout feature for the bacula services.

Have you tried using the bacula dir / fd heartbeat feature? Is there a firewall (iptables?) involved somehow? I've set Heartbeat = 30 in the director and yes there is a firewall between dir and fs, not iptables but a juniper, the firewall of the company. Have you tried lowering the tcp_keepalive_timeout on both ends? # echo 300 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time I'll try this. >>>>>>>> The heartbeat also needs to be on the client config, too. I have much fewer timeouts, not completely free of them, though.
