My very first troubleshooting step in a new/changed RMAN/NBU environment
is to see if a trivial RMAN script (allocate one channel, type disk, backup
database) that doesn't involve NetBackup at all works. If not, have the
DBA call you when he's got RMAN installed correctly.

After RMAN can back up to disk, change to sbttape; that will test 95% of
your setup and give you something basic to troubleshoot if it doesn't work.
At that point, become one with the NetBackup for Oracle SAG's troubleshooting
section. It is first-rate, explaining the interactions between all the moving
parts and how to prove whether they have happened or not.

I have run into this when a script I wrote exited because on a condition
before the
backup actually started. The RMAN backup commands were never issued, therefore
no files were backed up.
