Also, it's much safer to pass the configuration file to use to 
bsonsole. So you should end up with something like "/sbin/bconsole -c 
/etc/bacula/bconsole.conf"

Things might even be more comlicated.

Your $1 in the event handler script holds the host name as defined in 
Nagios. That is not necessarily the name of any Bacula job.

Of course you could define the jobs with the plain host name, but for 
reasons of manageability and flexibility I usually recommend a 
different naming scheme for the jobs.

For example, on host sample with Bacula file daemon sample-fd you 
might have the jobs Sample-root Sample-home and Sample-data. For many 
Bacula installations, you soon discover that you need several jobs to 
take different needs regarding retention times, storage pools, or 
special backup procedures into account.

As long as you really only need one job named exactly like the Nagios 
host name, your setup is ok, though.
