I guess I failed to mention that this is all on the same server. Thanks
for the tip on the admin and bprd logs. I enabled those and did get some
information. From the admin log


10:38:53.116 [8238] <2> getsockconnected: Connect to HOST on port 851
10:38:53.117 [8238] <2> logconnections: BPCD CONNECT FROM 1.2.2.1.851 TO
1.2.2.1.13782
10:39:53.125 [8238] <2> bpcr_connect: bpcr_connect timeout during select
after 60 seconds on port 710
10:39:53.126 [8238] <16> bpauthorize main: Function
connect_to_remote_server(HOST) failed: 25
10:39:53.126 [8238] <2> bpauthorize: cannot connect on socket
10:39:53.126 [8238] <2> bpauthorize: EXIT status = 25

Netstat lists port 13782 as listening and I made sure hosts.deny
wouldn't block. This looks like a big clue:

# telnet localhost 13782
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
unknown argument bpcd
Usage: bpcd [-standalone] [-no_callback] [-debug] [-port portnum]
[-keyfile]
Connection closed by foreign host.

# grep bpcd /etc/inetd.conf
bpcd    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/bin/tcpd
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd bpcd


Well, at least now I have a trail to go down. I'm not real up to speed
on the various components of NB.
