Hopefully NBU 7.5.0.4 or 7.5.0.5?

You could try making a copy of the staging directory and then rerunning a catalog backup

SO copy N:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackupDB\staging TO N:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackupDB\staging_old

NOTE - Dont rename the existing staging, the directory HAS to exist just make a copy and empty the original.

Remove all the files in the directory and rerun, see if they get recreated and if the catalog will complete successfully.

Other wise im with Marianne update to 04 or 05 maintenace packs.
