Nate,

Sorry that my idea seems to have compounded your problem.  Might I suggest my 
original approach but setting it up on a test schedule so you can see quickly 
if scheduled catalogs will run rather than having to wait or have NBU predict 
when it thinks it should be running.  If you get better results with that, you 
could setup another new catalog policy with your correct schedules.

I also noted from your earlier response that you deleted and recreated the new 
catalog policy after you'd restarted the NBU services.  Support were very 
specific with me that the current catalog backup policy should be deleted 
before the services are restarted and the new policy shouldn't be created until 
after the services are back up.

Hope you make some progress because we all know how painful engaging support is 
on these issues, especially this late in the day !!

While trying to recreate your issue yesterday in a test environment I
did the same thing. Nbpemreq eventually did show the scheduled catalog
backups, but it took a while and did not show the after last backup
session incrementals.

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.
