If your bacula-dir runs fine when started directly but fails when started through systemd then you're most likely encountering a problem with Bacula's systemd integration. This is not unheard of. Systemd itself is still very new and immature, and systemd integration of most software packages even more so.
So you'll have to debug the bacula-dir systemd unit, which can be a pain because systemd has a tendency to hide important information from you. Start by inspecting the output of "systemctl status bacula-dir". Beyond the actual status, it should also output the last few syslog lines relating to the bacula-dir service. If you're lucky you'll already find a hint there what's going wrong. If that doesn't put on the right track, have a look at the unit file /usr/lib/systemd/system/bacula-dir.service and check the content for plausibility. Try running the ExecStart command manually exactly as shown, and under the exact User and Group ID given in the unit file. One frequent problem with systemd units is that they start daemons under an unprivileged user ID even though they are designed to be started as root, which leads to strange permission issues that disappear once you start the daemon manually as root.
