Not sure how you configured a catalog backup to go to an NDMP stunit?

When configuring the catalog backup to be written to a tape, you only 
specify the host to do the writing (this host cannot be an NDMP 
server, it must be an NBU media server...) and a mediaID.  Nowhere to 
specify a storage unit.

Can you explain what you did to set up your catalog backup?  (perhaps 
you're using the "two-phase" catalog backup method?)
