    Also Linux on the client?

    First of all - check /etc/hosts entries on the client.

    In addition to localhost entry, is there an entry for the client's own IP and hostname?

    And entry for the master server?

    Next, check bp.conf on the client.
    (in /usr/openv/netbackup).

    The first SERVER entry must be the Master server.
    (Check that name is exactly the same as thew master server hostname in /etc/hosts)

    If you have other media servers, add additional SERVER entries in bp.conf.

Not sure about the local domain part but is msclin-mum-air-dr-mbkp in the server list for mcslin-mum-air-dr-preba1 and does mcslin-mum-air-dr-preba1  resolve msclin-mum-air-dr-mbkp correctly?

Either a resolutions (short / FQDN) issue or it is not in its server list (at least not with the naming convention it is resolved as)
