i havent used backup exec server in freebsd, but i have many NetBackup 5.1 
clients.  are you sure that the veritas binaries for backup exec are actually 
working?

when i first installed my netbackup clients, i ran thru the entries listed 
in /etc/inetd.conf to make sure they ran, and came up with 6 .so files that 
were missing (were actually much newer).  after i symlinked the existing .so 
files to the versions the the netbackup client was looking for, when i re-ran 
all the executable pieces from command line, i finally got either no, or 
output that told me all the bits were working.

hth,
jonathan
