backup exec 12.5 - e00084d9 error when trying to back up to tape

i've had nothing but problems trying to get 12.5 to run correctly on win2k8 r2 x64 server. i moved from win2k3r2 w/backup exec 9.1. i have an exabyte vxa-2 ide tape drive.

be installs a qic157 driver, is this correct?

i could not catalog 99% of by backup to disk jobs that were created in win2k3. i could not catalog 100% of the tape jobs.

finally said the hell with the catalogs and set up new jobs. the backup to disk jobs seem to run, at least they ran 3 days in a row. the tape jobs always fail with the same error, E00084D9, there was an error processing the on tape catalogs.

i've erased the tapes, and after that,  i can label the tape, i can inventory the tape and i can catalog the tape. but i can't do a backup to it. the online kb article says something about rights to the catalog folder. if this was a problem, i couldn't do a backup to folder job, either, and these work.

so, what can i do to try to figure this out?
