The error does make it pretty clear that there was either a channel failure or that the backup pieces are missing....

  I suspect it is an issue with the Veritas MML.

  There are other issues with this setup as well.   For instance, ALLOCATE CHANNEL does not work with the PARMS argument.

  This is in a lab environment, and NBU will be upgraded to 6.0 later this week.

  A rerun of the test may clear it up.
