All, we are having an issue using bpbackup in a script initiated by an external 
scheduler and i'm having mixed results finding answers about bpbackup errors.

Master: Win 2003, NBU 6.5.1
Media(s): Win 2003, NBU 6.5.1
Clients: Solaris 10, NBU 6.5.1

The command that the script runs is the following: 
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpbackup -L $logFile -f $backup.list -p $policyname -s 
ubak -w 

This kicks off anywhere from 2 to 8 clients in the policy, each having their 
own unique file list to backup based on the policy. The idea is that we want 
netbackup to wait indefinitely for a completion status to send back to our 
scheduler.

So anything other than a status 0 abbends our job. What's happening is that 
we're getting a server status = 12 message (file open failed) randomly on one 
or more clients, however the job still completes on the netbackup side as shown 
by the $logfile and activity monitor. When we re-run the job a second time it 
finishes without issues, every time.

I can't find anywhere in any log which file bpbackup is actually choking on. 
Sometimes the status 12 happens before any files are backed up, sometimes it's 
in the middle of the backup. 

Thanks in advance.
