might be a permissions issue with the db/jobs directory... if it can't see
anything from the gui, then it doesn't sound like its loading properly from
the jobs database...

check perms on /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs

you might need to fiddle with it... although it should work since xbpmon is
setuid to root...

just a thought...
