Jeff,
I appreciated your support, but I sent this email after I did the steps you
mention about it below. Before I few minutes I fixed the issue by install
jnbSA and jbpSA local on my linux box, I connected now remotely to
Netbackup server and it is working fine.
I highly appreciated everyone efforts in the maillist whom tried advice me.
Keep in touch for support and find-out the solution.

Best wishes,
Waleed Harbi
