I wonder what you find when you investigate the files mentioned in the error messages. Does an 'ls -lah $filename' show any details, or give an error?

No error and nothing else but the permissions/user/group/size/date/filename.
E.g.
ls -lah $filename
-rw-r--r--@ 1 user  staff       2.3M Aug 17  2022  $filename

Notice some files have the "@", others don't.



Are the files all related to a specific program?

I guess the answer is no...
Some files are in "/Users/.../Library/Mail/", some in a folder which holds data taken from an older Mac.



Are all the files of type .nib, or are they different types?

No.
Most are .nib, but I also see see one ".pdf", one ".strings", one ".itxib", one ".plist"...



I wonder also if it is talking about apple extended attributes, or something else.

That would be a good question.
I hoped someone who knows would step up.
If I had to bet on this, I'd say no, since only a few of these files seem to have extended attributes (see above for the @).



I think if you can predict what bacula will complain about, and if you can predict that the files or types aren't important, you can exclude them from your backup.

Unfortunately I'm not sure these can be excluded.
I'd have to check with the user (which will be a hard task).



 bye & Thanks
