That's an error in the RPM install script. It uses the
"alternatives"
mechanism for switching between database backends but messes up.
/usr/sbin/dbcheck ends up being linked to /usr/sbin/bscan.mysql instead
of /usr/sbin/dbcheck.mysql. Consequently, when make_catalog_backup.pl
tries to run dbcheck it's actually bscan which gets run. Not
understanding the -B option is probably the least of its problems. :-)

Until the RPM gets fixed, you can manually correct the bad symlink with:

ln -sf /etc/alternatives/bacula-dbcheck /usr/sbin/dbcheck

Hope you filed a bugreport! ( bugs.centos.org and the if needed followup
with a report at bugzilla.redhat.com, and cross reference )
