That won't work because "csrutil disable" can only be run in recovery mode.

What I've decided to do is shift away from using bacula to back up macOS
hosts and use Time Machine to a central Samba server instead. I lose some
central manageability this way but it seems to be much more reliable, and
avoids having to install Xcode and compile bacula-fd on the client, as well
as keeping macOS's security features intact. A further benefit is I can do
"bare metal" restores using the standard macOS installer and Migration
Assistant.
