All files are the same on every node.  Because this is a Tru64 cluster each
filesystem is shared among all nodes which means there is one bp.conf file
for every node.
NBU apparently has problems with this because every time a stream needs to
mount another tape it errors out with a 40.

It's probably not working, just being ignored.

Since the file is read, not executed, I wouldn't expect that to work
at all.

The real question is probably if you need  R_I at all (probably not).  If
you really do need it, do you have a different hosts file on each node?
