i initially thought it's a problem with 7.5 but we are now on 7.7.3 and still having this issue with the scheduler.
if i create a new backup policy (either from scratch or copied from existing policies) and i do a "./nbpemreq -predict -date 02/18/2019 23:59:59", the new policies don't appear.
no matter how many times i issued "./nbpemreq -updatepolicies" the new policies still won't appear.
i do this check because if policies don't appear with the above command, it is a sure thing that they will not run as expected. i have to run them manually.
what is the problem? how to resolve this?

Best to show us an example of such a new policy.
My experience has been that my interpretation of when the backups should run is not always how NBU interprets my new policy.
Having a good look at policy config (bppllist <policy-name> -U) normally helps to find the issue.

My two cents:
Maybe the client for which you are updating policy is in offline state? Can you check this by running this command:
bpclient -client client_name -L
