Kind regards, Joe Nyland Hi, if you only give a filename, without a path (even a relative one), bacula-dir will look for it in the default configuration directory. For example from my director: $ pwd /tmp $ truss bacula-dir -t -c bacula-dir.conf 21 | grep bacula-dir.conf open(/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf, O_RDONLY) = 3 $ $ truss bacula-dir -t -c ./bacula-dir.conf 21 | grep bacula-dir.conf open(./bacula-dir.conf, O_RDONLY) = 3 Assuming the file you want to test is in your working directory, this might be your problem.

I've just tried # cat /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf /tmp/foo.conf (mangle /tmp/foo.conf) # /usr/sbin/bacula-dir -t /tmp/foo.conf and it loudly fails as expected with Bacula 5.0.2 as shipped in Debian. -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!

This appears to be the bit that I was missing!I was indeed trying to test a file in my working directory. Tried it again with the following:bacula-dir -t -c ./bacula-dir.confAnd all seems to be well - I get an error about an undefined fileset directive which I hadn't set, so now I know it's not ready to be released yet.Thanks again,Joe--
