I thought the whole point about 2.6 was that all the /lib/tls

Yes, I think you are right.  However, RedHat kept /lib/tls around even with 
2.6 kernels through FC4.  /lib/tls still exists in FC5, but it is empty.

After thinking about it, I would recommend that you just change the name 
to /lib/broken-tls and see what happens.  That is what I did here with 2.4 
kernels and it resolved all the problems.  

I never saw any of the /lib/tls problems with Fedora systems FC4 or FC5 where 
the kernel was 2.6 by default.
My backups finally ran last night. The LD_ASSUME_... environment did the trick.
Does activating this variable have any negative performance on the backup ?

Otherwise I'd suggest you change the detection (which is still present in RedHat SysV init scripts supplied in the bacula tarball)
to not filter on the specific kernel version, but always use the environment variable when /lib/tls exists and /etc/redhat-release exists.

Might be a bit harsh but it should prevent further cases like this.

Here's the part in the SysV init scripts :
# if /lib/tls exists, force Bacula to use the glibc pthreads instead
if [ -d "/lib/tls" -a $OS = "Linux" -a `uname -r | cut -c1-3` = "2.4" ] ; then
     export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
fi

I'd change the if statement to
if [ -d "/lib/tls" -a $OS = "Linux" -f "/etc/redhat-release" ] ; then

I'll try the environment fix and let you know tomorrow how it went.
You might've guessed, the backup finally ran automatically. Thanks for all your support.
