As for moving the media server to a new master- I've never done that, but my inclination would be to rebuild the media server, rather than try to move it. Less likely to have unknown settings throwing you off, and I find that a clean build is usually faster in the end.

This is especially true of NetBackup 5.1 since there is a media catalog on the media server. You might get away with just pointing a 6.0 media server to a new master but I sure wouldn't do it on 5.1.

There is also a documented procedure somewhere for properly decommissioning a media server from a master. Make sure you go through this on your old master or you will have issues when you upgrade to 6.x.

At a minimum, do a full uninstall of the NetBackup components, delete all the hangover files if there are any, and then re-install the media server pieces again.
