I have two Red Hat Linux sysems with the NetWorker client backing up to a
Red Hat Linux server with NetWorker 7.4.4 on it. One client has an nfs mount
point with a bunch of data sitting on it. Backups of the data work fine and
when I log onto that client, I can recover the data from tape.

When I log onto another Linux client and I try to do a directed recover of
the same data to the second client, the backup says it finished in nsrwatch,
but the recover command never comes back to the recover prompt. If I kill
the recover session, there's a file by the name of the one I want where I
want it. 

At first, when I tried this, it said that root on the destination server
wasn't authorized, even though it was in the source client's remote access
list for both the short and the log host names. I then made the root on this
destination server an administrator of the NetWorker server and it stopped
complaining about the authorization, but the recover process just hangs.

If anyone has any suggestions on how I can resolve this issue, please let me
know.
