I have something strange now. When I run bpbackupdb -tpath \\.\Tape0 I get
an error that the device path is unknown. This is strange because tpconfig
-d definitely shows it. If I configure the catalog backup via the gui to
backup to tape and then run just bpbackup it works.

Any ideas ?

Perhaps I am missing something, but why would you not just run:

      /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpbackupdb [-tpath
tape_device_path  [-rv recorded_vsn]] [-nodbpaths] [-v] [path.. ]

right after your duplications are complete?
