You're welcome! And, that would do it.

You don't say what distribution of Linux, what version of Bacula you
are
using, or whether Bacula was pre-packaged or installed & compiled from
source, so I'm afraid that I can't help you with this question.
With regards to my system (Debian Sarge) and Bacula installed from a
binary
Deb package, bscan is part of the standard package.
