I gave a test run a shot.

Ran "bpbkar -nocont -nfsok /foo/bar &> /dev/null" 

this took roughly an an hour and 18 minutes and completed successfully.
The actual policy ran last night and the same problem occurred as before
- the backup stalls and then bpbrm logs a timeout.

>>From bpbkar...

Backup starts at 00:15:23:

00:15:23.804 [29233] **LOCALE ERROR** locale <en_US.ISO8859-1> not found
in file </usr/openv/msg/.conf>

-Z -b foo.bar.com_1184307320 -kl 5 -shm

Then the thing fails at 04:52:42 with zero errors:

04:52:42.060 [29233] <4> bpbkar compress_file: INF - Compression:   82%
/foo/bar/somefile.csv
04:52:42.061 [29233] <4> bpbkar PrintFile: /foo/bar/somefile.csv

That's it. No errors. Nothing. bpbrm then fails with a backup timeout
from the client.

Could this have anything to do with other jobs being queued on the
master server? Is there any known issue with doing nfs backups on a
master server or something? I'm pretty much out of ideas.

1. check out the bpbkar logs
2. Add  VERBOSE = 5  to the
/usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf on the client.
Create the /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpbkar directory
if it doesn't already exist.
Run /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpbkar -nocont DIRECTORY
> /dev/null against the directory where the file
resides.
The above command will cause bpbkar to read the
directory and write the output to /dev/null instead of
disk or tape. Running bpbkar manually is a good method
to verify if bkbkar can read a file without doing an
actual backup of the client.  Any errors will be
logged to the bpbkar log directory.
