I talked to Veritas and they revealed this gem, seems to fix the problem:

On the aix client:
"touch /usr/openv/netbackup/dont_sort_dir"
This touch file has been known to fix backups with many small files and the
41 status code.

> I am trying to backup a new AIX system that has a JFS filesystem with
about 1-2 millions files, most smaller then 10k. We first were trying our
TSM server but TSM would give out of memory errors. So since we are phasig
TSM out we hooked up Netbackup and tried it, it seems bpbkar just starts
eating resources and after a few hours is taking like 25% of the system CPU
and not backing up. Any suggestions on backing up filesystems with millions
of small files?
