An update on the support ticket...

After submitting logs and various other things requested by support, the
suggested solutions to my problem are:
1.  Delete the pempersist file on a regular basis.
2.  Disable checkpoints in the backup policy (this seems to be a major
contributor to the problem)
3.  Install some PRE-MP4 engineering patches that were granted only
after the case was escalated.  It is two files that you just replace and
relaunch netbackup.
4.  Disable checkpoints and wait for MP4 which should be released in
November 2006.

I have been deleting pempersist, and the problem goes away for five to
fourteen days.  Adding the engineering patches worked fine, but it has
been less than a week, so I'll be watching the activity log closely.  I
really depend on checkpoints because I'm backing up millions of files on
windows systems, and it takes a long time.
