I get a 0 size file!

You can't actually get full access (like root on UNIX) on MacOS. That's 
some freedom Apple won't give you.
Personally I find this unacceptable, but my customers, of course, don't 
share my opinion.
That said, I've been through all the hops to give bacula-fd as much 
power as it's possible: it currently has "full disk access" (which still 
means it cannot backup some things).

Still I get many "ERR=Operation not permitted" which are permission 
problems.
If "ERR=Attribute not found" is also a permission problem, why a 
different error, then?
