I am using the Mac client 6.1.3 savepnpc with a Solaris server NW7.0
upgraded from 6.1.3. I haven't had any problems with it, with
either version of the server software.
Did you check the /nsr/tmp directory and make sure that the
group.tmp file is actually removed. I have seen this where I had
started a client backup that had a savepnpc, and I had manually
stopped the backup before it completed. The software just left the
.tmp file, and would not clean it up by itself.

Thanks Davina,
The error is not just a warning, it actually does not produce the
file
required for a disaster recovery of a Mac client.
The main problem I have is that it is difficult to troubleshoot as I
do not
have direct access to the box and the user travels a lot.
Legato will not produce a fix unless I can prove it is truly a
problem
seen on the Mac clients.
I was hoping someone else on the list was using this savepnpc so I
would
know if this is a bug or just something I am not doing correctly.
Richard, the saveset for this client was already set to "all".
Thanks again,
Mike

I'm not familiar with the MAc client, but I believe the message you
are
seeing is just a warning.
I think they gave savepnpc to a junior programmer who hadn't a clue
how it
worked. They were trying to fix the long running problem with the
tmp file.
At 6.1.2 they introduced a pointless and confusing error message. At
6.1.3
they changed the text of the message, making it even more confusing.
It
didn't fix the problem they were trying to address. At 6.2 they
broke it
altogether.
The only version with a truly working savepnpc is 7.0.
