Sorry, not a response, just jumping on the bandwagon...
... I'm running NetBackup 6.0 on Solaris 8. When a catalog backup is run,
it hangs the library. This past time, after stopping and starting the NetBackup
daemons we noticed that nbpem would not start. We killed some orphaned process
and finally we were able to start nbpem.

The problem with a catalog backup causing the drives to hang persists, however.
