Question Veritas Unix Backup Agent won't start

I have 3 SCO 5.0.5 machines. Two are running the /etc/bkupexec/agent.be just fine but the 3rd fails with a NRL initialization error. It can't seem to find the backup server in the /etc/hosts file.

The entry is in the /etc/hosts file.
The perms are set correctly on /etc /etc/bkupexec /etc/bkupexec/agent.be /etc/bkupexec/agent.cfg & /etc/bkupexec/agent.log.

Pat Mckoy had the same posting in 2001 but no solution was given. Has anyone else run into the same problem and found the solution? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

BACKUP_LISTHOSTS(8)					       AFS Command Reference					       BACKUP_LISTHOSTS(8)

NAME
backup_listhosts - Lists Tape Coordinators registered in the Backup Database SYNOPSIS
backup listhosts [-localauth] [-cell <cell name>] [-help] backup listh [-l] [-c <cell name>] [-h] DESCRIPTION
The backup listhosts command displays the Backup Database record of the port offset numbers defined for Tape Coordinator machines. A Tape Coordinator must have an entry in the list to be available for backup operations. The existence of an entry does not necessarily indicate that the Tape Coordinator process (butc) is currently running at that port offset. To check, issue the backup status command. OPTIONS
-localauth Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The backup command interpreter presents it to the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell argument. For more details, see backup(8). -cell <cell name> Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see backup(8). -help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. OUTPUT
After a "Tape hosts:" header, the output reports two things about each Tape Coordinator currently defined in the Backup Database: o The hostname of the machine housing the Tape Coordinator. The format of this name depends on the hostname format used when the backup addhost command was issued. o The Tape Coordinator's port offset number. The Tape Coordinators appear in the order in which they were added to the Backup Database. EXAMPLES
The following example shows the result of the command in the ABC Corporation cell: % backup listhosts Tape hosts: Host backup1.abc.com, port offset 0 Host backup1.abc.com, port offset 1 Host backup3.abc.com, port offset 4 Host backup2.abc.com, port offset 3 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on every machine where the Backup Server is running, or must be logged onto a server machine as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is included. SEE ALSO
