All our clients have a bconsole.conf like that, each with their own password. I 
can remove those bconsole.conf files from the clients, but then my clients 
wouldn’t be able to do restores of their own files either. What I’m 
specifically looking for is a way to configure things such that client X can 
only access files/jobs for/from client X, but not those of client Y.

Oh, because I forgot in my original mail, I’m running Bacula 5.2.6 on Solaris 
10 Sparc (147440-21).

I'm not sure how yours is set up, but on mine I had to go out of my way to make 
it possible for clients to do any restores.

On the client, I had to create a bconsole.conf, such as:

Director {
  Name = bacula-dir
  DIRport = 9101
  address = bacula-server
  Password = "someBigUglyPasswordWitchMatchesTheOneOnTheBaculaServer"
}
If that file wasn't present, the client couldn't access the backups.
