You could on the old master: do one catalogbackup, then delete all the devices, and do second catalogbackup(to disk. And use the last catalogbackup for recovery on the new master.. and then set up devices like it should be.
I've done this successfully on an numerous sites. Not from W2000 to W2003 though...

Not sure what your plan is to move to a new master - Are you using bprecover to restore everything back to the new platform? Ideally, it's be better to restore everything to the new hardware, using the same OS/NetBackup revisions from the previous master. Either that, or delete and rebuild the global database. As I said, to me; sounds like something is out of sync. There is a section in the NetBackup Disaster Recovery plan about using the bprecover and restoring the catalogs. Remember, retaining the same IP / Server Name / OS / NetBackup / Patch Level is essential to the success of this.
