I don't believe consolidated backups are support for NDMP.

Subject: [Networker] VTL & Consolidated Backups

Hello,
With use of VTL's and DISK based backups growing, has any one tried and 
used consolidated backups with them ?
I started to think of them now so as to reduce network\server load and 
getting the backups done quickly.
My primary Aim would be to do Daily incremental, Levels for NDMP and do 
consolidated backups ( FULL) over the weekend.
What other methods have any one out there used, their experiances and 
problems, will it work with NDMP & Saveset cloning involved ?
I have one Windows 2003 64 Bit  Networker Master server and several 
storage nodes ( All Windows)
Thanks
