I'm not a DBA either (but I play one on TV) but I have recently been
recently setting up Oracle to Netbackup backups...

It looks like your problem is not Netbackup, but the oracle catalog
database. I would attempt to do an oracle backup to Netbackup using only the
control files as checkpoint control, (see the RMAN manual for details) and
see if you get the same problem. If you don't then I would suggest you get
your DBAs to take a look at the recovery catalog database and see if they
see any problems (perhaps you are out of free space or something trivial
like that.)

Anybody seen this before?

This problem is driving me crazy.  I've ruled out both firewall issues 
and db version compatibility between the RMAN and target db.  Regular NB 
cold backups work fine.  Im not a DBA so I am struggling through this. 
The entire instance backs up just fine over an hour plus then this error 
is generated just prior to deleting archive logs, I think, and NB errors 
out with a 23 error.  thanks in advance for any pointers!
