Backup Exec 9.1 running on Windows 2000 Server (SP4)

I'm backing up multiple Linux servers every night without a problem, but I don't seem to be able to do any restores to the Linux servers anymore. All the Linux servers are Red Hat, ranging anywhere from Red Hat 7.2 to RHEL AS 3.0. I did test this when I first set it up and it worked okay. Two seconds after you try to run a restore job, you get this error...

Backup Exec Alert: Job Failed
(Server: "WinServer") (Job: "linux_test_restore") linux_test_restore -- The job failed with the following error: Authentication failed on connection to the server.

This happens immediately upon starting the restore job, it doesn't seem to even try to authenticate to the Linux server and just fails right away. I ran the beagent in debug mode, but the log file shows me nothing. It doesn't even show a connection attempt from the backup server.

Thanks,
Chris
