After running the database upgrade script, which creates new columns and a few new tables, I noticed that I needed to set some permissions. grant all on device to group bacula; grant all on device_deviceid_seq to group bacula; grant all on mediatype to group bacula; grant all on mediatype_mediatypeid_seq to group bacula; grant all on status to
