We are having a similar problem, except with NT clients. Do you know if
this fix would work for NT clients as well?

I talked to Veritas and they revealed this gem, seems to fix the
problem:
On the aix client:
"touch /usr/openv/netbackup/dont_sort_dir"
This touch file has been known to fix backups with many small files and
the 41 status code.
