Gene-
As far as I know, the only change in OSX 10.4 that is relevant to
NetBackup functionality is the addition of filesystem extended
attributes, e.g. ACLs.
For reference, here is some in-depth discussion of this topic in
the recent Ars Technica Tiger review:
http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/macosx-10.4.ars/7
http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/macosx-10.4.ars/8
The Netbackup code would need to be updated to capture any ACLs or
extended attributes assigned to a file.
Ignoring the topic of ACLs, I would expect the NetBackup client
software to work just fine. (although I admit that I haven't
personally tried any NBU backups of Tiger yet. ask me again in an
hour or two... ;-)

p.s. are you sure your status 57 error couldn't be a configuration
issue? What do you see in the client's bpcd log when this failure
occurs?
