Good point.

Firewall could be iptables on the host itself.   

Try running "service iptables stop" then running the backup.  If it
works then you know the issue is the iptables and you'll have to work on
opening the port for NBU to use.   (You can turn iptables back on with
"service iptables start".)

It should be working then, do you have a firewall somewhere on the 
network? What are the exact errors you are getting when you try to
backup?
