Networker process fails to start - Mac OS X Yosemite
I cannot get the Networker client to run on an OS X Yosemite Mac. I've tried all recent versions up to 8.2.1, but the errors are consistent:
01/04/2015 18:07:31.449 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.emc.NetWorker[15015]) Service could not initialize: Unable to set current working directory. error=20, path=/nsr/cores/nsrexecd: 14C1514: xpcproxy + 12907 [1227][63706214-56DC-3155-B46F-D4F21C9B1C0B]: 0x14
01/04/2015 18:07:31.449 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.emc.NetWorker) Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.
These errors repeat endlessly until I run `sudo /bin/launchctl stop com.emc.NetWorker`. It would appear that /nsr/cores/nsrexecd doesn't exist on the computer, but an attempt is being made to utilise it in some way.
I was really hoping that 8.2.1 would fix the problem, but alas no. Has anyone else encountered these errors and resolved the problem?
Thanks,
Graham

It looks like nsrexecd is getting crashed every time it starts and it is creating nsrexecd core dump under nsr directory.
Look at NetWorker daemon.raw and system event messages for any related error messages. Also analyzing core dump will help you to understand why the service is getting crashed.

My problem was a legacy of 8.2 not working, and me manually creating an /nsr folder, so the 8.2.1 installer couldn't overwrite it. Having discovered this and deleted /nsr, it now appears to be working. Thanks.
