It is the junction relation between path and filename and job and  
describes
1. which files (identified by bacula.filename) are in a directory  
(identified by bacula.path)
2. For each of those files they record a snapshot with  
characteristics (lstat [base64 encoded], md5-checksum and a backup- 
job [via jobid], which itself has backup-time etc.)

One entry per backup(job) for each bacula.path/bacula.filename pair  
in bacula.file.

Yes. Directories reference an entry containing '' in  
bacula.filename.name.

File status info -- see stat(2).

Yes, the S_IFDIR bit identifies directories, but the whole lstat  
column is base64 encoded
> Similarly for the md5 column--what would it contain for a directory?
It seems to contain 0.
