I've been rolling my own rpms, and they definitely aren't worthy of 
wider distribution. :-(

If you're willing to work with a slightly older Bacula release 
(1.36.x), I suspect Karanbir Singh's will work just fine. Just search 
for 'bacula' at centos.karan.org.

Otherwise, I'd download latest SRPM and rebuild it on your platform(s) 
of choice:
