All:
Our environment, HP-UX 11-31 currently running one master / media server
on NetBackup 6.5.2.  We are running mostly unix / Linux backups and a
couple windows b/u's thrown in for good measure.
Currently, our image cleanup job hangs at the same place and will not
complete without canceling it. The Detail Status shows it processing the
same client when it hangs.
Here is what got us to this point.  Last Thursday one of our admins
kicked off a restore and didn't notice that the window was for a few
years.  He went home with the search still running.  Sometime overnight
the /usr/openv filesystem  filled up.  The admin that kicked off the job
didn't work Friday so the rest of us didn't know what was going on. (We
have since flogged him and he is currently tied up..)   NetBackup was
taken down and brought back up.  When NetBackup came up, we couldn't
submit jobs because the nbperm daemon wouldn't stay up.  We found a
document that said "nbjm and nbpem processes are not synchronized when
this occurs, stale data is left both in the pempersist file and the
cached schedule information.  As a result, nbpem never runs the job
again, since its data indicates that the job is still active".  We
followed the instructions and cleaned up the
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/pempersist file and also had to clear lock
files and the activity log database and deleted the following files:
063008.bpjobd.db , bpjobd.act.db , bpjobd.db , jobid , jobid.lock
pempersist2.  The bad news was that it cleared out the activity log for
the 2 weeks which we can live with.
So, that's where we are, anyone know how to take care of the image
cleanup hang? 
Thanks in advance..
