I have the same setup here, with hundreds of files for clients, jobs, etc.
but the catalog definition is only one in my main bacula-dir.conf.
Is your /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf file completely blank except for the
inclusion of other files?

There should be only one per installation, so probably it was never thought
to be elsewhere. Is there a particular reason for thhe catalog= directive
to be in a secondary files and not in the main one? Couldn't you just move
the catalog definition back in the main configuration file and just leave
your installation as is?

The only thing I can think of right now is to move the script under
/etc/bacula and mark it as %config as well, so it becomes a "suggestion"
for people to create their own backup script if required.
Or maybe just update the various readme files with information to copy the
script in /usr/local/sbin/ and modify to taste.

Ideas are welcome. Fedora git repository is here:
