Four or five days ago I began getting connection timed out (41) on my 
catalog backups to tape, nothing in the environment has changed besides 
adding some more clients to some polices.  However, if a lot of the 
clients are dead in the polices, I wonder if that could potentially cause 
this? When a catalog backup is executed though, AFAIK it does not touch 
the clients?  Here is what the error looks like under 6.0MP4:

I ran a consistency check (bpdbm) and bpexpdate -deassignempty has anyone 
ever seen this before?
