sounds like you might have a bad "bpbrmvlt" binary (that's one of the 
big differences between the execution of a scheduled vault policy and 
the manual execution of the vault profile.

what happens if you run "/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpbprmvlt -help" ?  
If you get a library error, that's your problem.  This typically 
happens if you upgrade from a previous NBU version and immediatgely 
patch (e.g. upgraded from 4.5 to 5.0, then applied the 5.0MP4 vault 
patch) without installing the vault option from the newer Options 
CD-ROM.

If this is the case for you, I suggest you re-install vault from the 
newer Options CD-ROM, then reapply any VLT patch you may have already 
applied.
