The other thing to consider is your network config.  I had a similar problem
where rman would start, but nothing would happen.  All of the clients had a
second interface card, and the problem was solved when I explicitly added
the client hostname and IP to the hosts file on the master server.  I have
also seen that you have to make sure that the
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/user_ops directory is writable by oracle, on unix
the directory should look like drwxrwxrwt.

Hi Mark,
I have seen a problem similar to this where as far as
NBU was concerned the Backup had been initiated, but RMAN
just wasn't starting.....
It turned out the problem was RMAN itself wasn't starting due
to an Oracle environment variable. 
You might want to ensure Oracle is happy with RMAN before you
focus too heavily on NBU.
Regards,
Leo
