Kern,
Thanks for the reply.
I did use the -c option several times, although I didn't mention it in
my original post. I believe I had the same experience: no errors
reported - bacula would not start with "systemctl start bacula-dir". I
will be doing more work on it today and be careful to always use the -c
option with path. I'll report my experience here.
Thanks again!

You probably have two bacula-dir.conf files on your system. The best
thing is to *always* use the -c option and specify the full path to
the conf file. That way, you can be sure which one you are getting.

Hi folks,
Just spent several frustrating hours trying to get some special
backup configs into my bacula-dir.conf file. I'd shut down the
Director, "sytemctl stop bacula-dir", edit the file, then start the
Director, "systemctl start bacula-dir" and nothing. Did a "bacula-dir
-t" and found some syntax errors, fixed those and then "systemctl
start bacula-dir" and again - nothing. Tried "bacula-dir -t", no
errors reported! Edited the conf file and commented out all my
changes, then "systemctl start bacula-dir" and it worked. But I did
not have the config I wanted.
So piece by piece I un-commented the lines I wanted, did a
"bacula-dir -t", no errors reported. Tried to start, "systemctl start
bacula-dir", nothing. Went back and forth this way for a long time
finally commenting out again back to original file, then "bacula-dir
-t", no errors reported. Tried to start, "systemctl start
bacula-dir", nothing!
Then I rebooted the whole server - when it came up the Director was
running!!! Stopped the Director, tried adding back in some of the
config lines I wanted, did a "bacula-dir -t", no errors reported.
Tried to start, "systemctl start bacula-dir", nothing! Again I
rebooted - Director was running with my special config!!!
Not sure what was going on, but bottom line - don't trust systemd!
