Per your response,

Have the hot catalog backups ever worked properly? Do you have a tape 
drive available at the time of the hot catalog backup?  I suggest setting 
VERBOSE = 5 in bp.conf, make the appropriate log directories and see what 
is happening during the time the catalog backup is scheduled to run.
