It is quite clearly the case that growisofs is upset and thinks that it is running under sudo.

A few questions from me. 1) are you building bacula yourself? Or has someone (kubuntu?) packaged it for you? If it is the latter then someone may have hidden a sudo somewhere in one of the scripts etc. 2) Is sd, dir etc. being started at boot time or from a shell later? This gives us a clue as to where to look for sudo. 3) If you start things from a shell (as root I guess) then you need to check what environment variables are set (use the "set" command if using bash, sh, etc). You are looking for any variables beginning "SUDO_" in there.
