i would upgrade to fp7...  we had issues with 2003 (as
clients) backups.
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/260141.htm

this isnt the same issue, however i would consider
upgrading to fp7 as ive heard bad stuff on fp5.  the
5.x releases (with mp's) seem to run ok, however you
may not be in a position to upgrade to a major rrev.
