Should I remove postgres from the bareos group then? Happy to follow standard 
practice. Wasn't aware the permission denied would be ok to ignore so I just 
went through solving one step at a time. :)

[root@vm-backups1]# su bareos
sh-4.1$ psql
psql (8.4.20)
Type "help" for help.

bareos=> select * from version;
 versionid
-----------
