Does Netbackup 6.5.6 support BMR client backup of Win 2008 R2?

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi All,
I have NBU master win 2k3 with BMR master and BMR boot server all at 6.5.6. But backups of win 2k8 will result in a status code 1:
Error bpbrm(pid=3568) BMRERR: Received BMR error: Failed to discover System. (1)
Error bpbrm(pid=3568) BMRERR: Did not receive bmr client request from dcapps502, status = -1
I ahve checked the release notes for both 6.5.5 and 6.5.6. 6.5.5 mention supporting win 2k8 as normal file system backup only but 6.5.6 made no mention of whether win 2k8 is supported as BMR client. Just wondering if you guys can point me to a conclusive source of whether win 2k8 is supported as BMR client so that I can show my customer. Thanks.

If I'm reading the compatibility list correctly (& that's not
always a given
) then the answer would be no.
See page 27 - nothing in the BMR Client column for any 2008 version:

***EDIT***
& looking even further into the NB 7 compatibility list ( http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/337048.htm ) it only becomes/became available with 7.0.1.
***EDIT #2***
the latter confirmed per Mariannes post below!
