Only got one emailed reply to this - suggested EBU. Not an option. Our DBAs 
have no interested in trying to set up yet another unsupported system.

I resolved this by avoidance, in case anyone is interested.

I set up a new netbackup policy to just backup the oracle DB filesystems and 
archive log filesystems. Then using pre-and poost scripts (bpstart_notify, 
bpend_notify) I put the database into backup modes, started a new archive log, 
do the backup, then when complete, take out of backup mode.

pre and post scripts work pretty well!
