It is possible that these scripts are not packaged for your 
distribution. You can load the templates from the cvs and modify them to 
your situation, or you can load the complete source package, configure 
it according to your system - no need to make the programs etc. AFAIK - 
and the use the scripts from the source tree.

Of course you could do the necessary steps automatically - just delete 
all the records from the tables, except the version.

Make sure Bacula is not running while you do that. Afterwards, when 
starting the DIR, you should have a virgin catalog.

Remember to either wipe your tape labels, or add the volumes to the 
catalog again.

You could also use this oportunity for an upgrade. I'd prefer that, by 
the way.
