Are you using NIS+?

check your /etc/nsswitch.conf file to see what it says, 
if next to services it look like this:

services:   nis

I suggest adding files and see if it works.

services:   files nis

If your environment mandates that everything must be in 
nis, then you need to ensure all of the services 
entries in /etc/services for netBackup are added to 
your nis services file.
