Thanks, Paul!  I took your suggestion and looked into the post section to
see if something do not run.  You were right!  For some reason, the post
section for the bacula packages did not run.  I ended up removing and
reinstalling bacula and everything installed just fine. So, I am not sure
why the post section did not run.  I have looked through the yum and
message log files and did not see any errors.  Again, thanks for your
help!
