Not addressing your problem, really, but IMHO, NetBackup 5.0 without 
patches is like trying to drive a Model A across country.  It might be 
possible, but it's going to be an adventure.  IMHO v5.0 was an awful 
release. Hundreds of my hours have been spent dealing with that 
pretender to enterprise software. :-(

On the other hand, my still too brief experience with version 5.1 (MP1) 
says this is by far the best version of NetBackup ever produced.  I'm 
very impressed so far (even with most of my clients at 4.5MPx and 
5.0MPx).  cheers, wayne   (Solaris 9, L700e, LTO1 server).
