You can set Netbackup to automatically backup the catalog after every backup
set. Might be a good setting in this matter.
Your Progress DB username, whatever it is, should be able to call bpbackup
and send its own files. We do this with Oracle & the oracle login.

See i have a DB/Netbackup server. I use cron to run the DB shutdown, then
bpbackup, then start up the db again and submit bpbackupdb.
I'm moving netbackup to a separate server. I don't want to do root ssh/rsh.
I want to control everything from the DB server.
Karl
PS: db server is running progress.
