Okay, now it's been what - 3 weeks?  And as far as I can tell nobody  
has even looked at this problem.

What exactly needs to be done to get these issues investigated?

1. bacula-dir dies for reasons unknown when starting a backup that  
uses identical configuration to other systems

2. bacula traceback documentation is incorrect and out of date

3. bacula traceback apparently only works on linux due to  
undocumented dependancies

I've sent documentation on all of these problems to the list DOZENS  
of times.  About one in every 12 messages actually reaches the list, so

4. WTF is happening with sourceforge?  Time to move the mailing list?
