Legato NetWorker & RMAN: A troublesome pair?

The subject line may be overstating things a bit, but I'm pretty frustrated at the moment.

Backups are working fine when I run them manually
(i.e., from a command line or within the RMAN
utility). The problem is trying to schedule the Oracle backups through the NetWorker Administration GUI. Scheduled filesystem backups work fine.

Our attempts to schedule a working backup fail without generating any useful errors in /nsr/logs/messages or /nsr/logs/daemon.log. Basically, the logs just say that the savegroup failed. Setting the NSR_SB_DEBUG_FILE in the nsrnmo script hasn't helped because nothing is being written to the log file.

The Legato knowledgebase, if you can call it that, has been of little use (other than to confirm that the output we have received isn't specific enough to debug the problem). What I've seen on MetaLink leads me to wonder if people who use the Legato NetWorker/RMAN actually schedule their backups through the Administration GUI or fall back to good 'ol reliable cron jobs.

So, if you use Legato NetWorker for your Oracle backups:

Do you schedule them through the Admin GUI or through cron?

Do you know of anything we should check that may not have been covered in the NetWorker administration manual?

If you've had similar problems, I love to hear what the problem was.

TIA for your help.
