I found a solution, or at least it could clasified as working workaround, so I post it here for archives or someone else who has problems with it.
So, I have Bacula server/director/sd as Debian and client/fd as OS X server. Bacula was installed trough Fink (in unstable/CVS packages, compiled from tar.gz). I configured it common client for Bacula and ensure it has right permitions to stream files to director. My problem was that I wanted to exclude files with Unicode characters with it. So I wrote simply in bacula-dir.conf file unicode symbols trough Gedit, restarted director and tried to launch my job. It failed to recognize Unicode characters written in director's file and went on with backup of these files, instead of excluding. First, I messed with various things like configuration file, tried the same situation with Linux workstation (where this situation was non-issue), etc. and then googled (and in same time got at least informative message from mailing list, thanks everyone for suggestions) and figured out that it is OS X different handling of Unicode on it's HFS+ file systems. OS X uses different way of composing characters (so called decomposed canonical format), so, it didn't understood simply what I wanted from it. First of all I think Bacula should be fixed to support this, but as it could take a quite time, but I loved Bacula and would like to have it as backup solution, I searched for some workarounds. And here is one. What is needed - graphical terminal like Konsole or Terminal of GNOME fame (or any other terminal with UTF-8 support). Open ssh connections to Debian (server) and OS X (client). On both boxes locale should UTF-8 (en_US.UTF-8 on Mac, en_US.utf8 on Linux). On OS X box, do ls -lah or simply ls to get OS X "version" of file name in Unicode (unicode chars will mostly look like upper line). Simply do a Ctrl+C or copy, and then go to Debian box, open bacula-dir.conf and go to FileSet you need to get ths file/directory name in and paste it in. Save and restart bacula-dir and go on with your jobs. Cheers to Bacula authors, supporters and anyone else who gave suggestions and tips, Peter.
