I was finally able to get back to this problem. Apparently the job actually is
running. On the NBU gui it appears that nothing is happening, no byte count,
etc. However when I looked at the target drive itself the img files were there
and growing, but extremely slow for an ndmp job.
The situation is this. We have a netapp on which we recently implemented the
snapshot for exchange feature for our exchange2007 system. Since we require 3
months of snapshots but don't have nearly enough space to leave them all there
we want to back the snaps up to disk. So the snaps are on fibre attached netapp
volumes and the ndmp job grabs the snap and is writing it to a basic disk. The
basic disk is actually a 6TB GPT volume that is made up of fibre attached
netapp SATA space.
I also tried redirecting to another disk SATA space that is on a clarriion.
Once again, extremely slow throughput. Directing the job to tape gives me more
expected results.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP to basic disk
We are writing NDMP backups to disk. We are doing 3-way backups ... NDMP sends
data to media server, which then writes to disk. We are running NB 6.5.4.
That is odd you aren't getting any error messages .. Have you checked the VxUL
logs?

It was my understanding (and it was also noted in a Veritas white paper) that
one could do an NDMP backup to basic disk starting with 6.5.2. We are running
6.5.3 and will probably jump to 6.5.5 soon. Unfortunately when I try nothing
happens. No error messages, no failures. Everything looks fine, the log says
the job is writing, unfortunately not a single byte is ever written. The job
just sits there forever until manually killed. Any thoughts?
