Hmm. The correct fix is to remove 127.0.0.1 and localhost from all bacula files and put the external ipaddress in it if you plan on backing up more than 1 machine ever. Otherwise you can keep bacula locked down as a single system network backup program. > Clearly this is not the way it should work.

However they do the same with apache which is just as nuts. I mean install an Apache web server that only the local host can access, I am sure there are good reasons for this however 99% of users will have to change the default..
