DATA.db is not in the true image list. (Solved)
OMG, I was about to panic. :robotsurprised: After DR recovery of NetBackup Master, the policies, clients, and a few other things were visible but no items in the catalog! Google search found a few old threads but nothing was helping. Finally came across this technote which did the trick. https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH48819 Pretty sure everything was matching between the old production and new DR server but somehow missed that. Whew!
