Netbackup 6.5 liveupdate using HTTP does not work either

Following the last post, I setup a web server on the Windows master server as the repository for the update to try to update another Windows client. Updated all settings on the client and master server. It still had the same issue of not able to find the files LiveUpdate is looking for at the address. If anyone out there has got Netbackup LiveUpdate working, please let me know how it is setup! For now, 6.5.1 will have to get there manually.

Update 1/17/2008

The Netbackup LiveUpdate 6.5.1 package isn't out yet, the current update release is only for manual installation. Set it up all you want, it won't work without this LiveUpdate package.

Netbackup 6.5 Liveupdate using UNC share does not work

*UPDATE* refer to this post for LiveUpdate, it has been confirmed that there is no update package for Netbackup LiveUpdate at this time.

Netbackup 6.5 is a fairly new major release and 6.5.1 has been out for about a month now. I've been trying to use Netbackup 6.5 Liveupdate from a Windows Master Server with a LAN share (UNC) on the same box to update another Windows client to 6.5.1 that is already running 6.5. You set everything up, you run the liveupdate policy, the job quits with a status 77 and the following message in the activity monitor.

Info nbliveup(pid=somenumber) EXIT STATUS 77
execution of the specified system command returned a nonzero status(77)

According to everything I've read and everything I've tried, this method is broken. Following the install guides and the Symantec class books (Yes, I went to class, and no, it was not worth it) my Netbackup Liveupdate environment is as follows.
