/nsr/res/nsrladb is critical to the operation of networker and should 
absolutely not be renamed
or deleted (except during a disaster recovery process).

What I do monthly is move /nsr/res/jobsdb and /nsr/tmp aside and have networker 
make a new one
after my maintenance day is finished.

You don't say what version of networker you are running, so any ideas about why 
your indexes
are hanging would be complete speculation on my part.  There have been a lot of 
discussions on
this list (and fixes released from EMC) for savegrp hanging on indexes ... I 
think they are for
7.6.
