Expected Results: Service should start successfully. Change introduced in Bareos version 16.2 More information can be found here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bareos-users/4Oz27nm5pOY.

Thanks for reporting! I fixed it in app-backup/bareos-16.2.7 by removing "-c ..." from the conf.d files alltogether
