So I restarted netbackup, verified nbpem was not running, which it
wasn't. I deleted and created a new catalog policy with a different name
and now "bppemreq -predict |grep -i catalog" doesn't even show the Full
catalog thats supposed to run once a week. Nor are my "end of session"
incrementals running..

I guess it's time to open a support ticket.
