Hello, The problem is exactly what Bacula says. The Bacula SD does not have the appropriate permissions to access that directory. Note: there are 3 permissions that Bacula needs: Read, Write, and Execute. The Execute permission is needed so that Bacula can create a file in the directory. From my experience, you are probably lacking the execute permission on that directory or one above it.
