bpmedialist.exe command does not complete when issued from command prompt.

When I try to issue the bpmedialist command with the -summary or the -mlist -l options, from my laptop (as a media server or client, no logged into the master/media server), the command fails with either "network read failed" or "Could not obtain report from the host unixkym, premature eof encountered".
 
I need to automate the generating of a media list (all tapes) on a windows box (unix master) daily for my offsite vendor.
 
Any help on this would be appreciated.

are you ssh into the server via putty or some tool like it?

No, nothing like that..  just from my laptops command prompt and cd to the C:\program files\Veritas\Netbackup\bin\admincmd directory to issue the command.
 
Works fine for individual volser's,  but not on long lists like with -summary.

Is the laptop configured as a valid server on ALL the media servers?
