I concur that the problem is often on the client.
Unfortunately, a status 6 message can mean nearly anything. If the script
that calls the RMAN commands exits non-zero you get a 6, if the media
manager has an error then you get a 6, sunspots making static on your
favorite radio station then you get a 6.
Make sure you create the additional logging directories on the client that
are mentioned in the Oracle Agent guide. I find the best diagnosis is
between the output of the rman script (don't send in-script errors to
/dev/null) and the logfiles in ../netbackup/logs/user_ops/dbext/logs (job
info), ../netbackup/logs/dbclient (Sched, status, params) &
../netbackup/logs/bphdb (STDOUT & STDERR).

In my limited experience, the problem is back on the client. A quick
look at the logging your RMAN script produces should point you in the
right direction. My typical status code 6's are from inactive DBs or a
full file system. In any event, you can't (or I don't know how to) see
the problem by just looking at your backup server.
