Hey Matthew,

We ran into the exact same problem after upgrading from 7.4.5 to 7.5.3.2 last 
week (NDMP backups for NetApp and StorageTek NAS).  I worked with an NDMP 
support engineer, and he said that other folks are having this issue, as well.  
Engineering is working on a patch.  Even though the jobs are failing on the 
NetWorker Management Console, we've found that we can manually run the jobs 
from the command-line (i.e., using nsrndmp_save from shell access on our Linux 
NetWorker server).  We've disabled the NMC jobs and setup cron jobs for the 
NDMP backups until this gets fixed.
