Your clientdir is, or could be....the following:
This apar was opened, closed, then reopened (not fixed under certain
conditions...).
Anyway, remove the service...
readd it (or install)
with  LOCAL FIX:
  APAR IC25107 local fix still applies.  Instead of using entire
  path name (surrounded by quotes), use the dos 8.3 name for
  "program files" instead ("progra", then a tilde, then a "1").

  ERROR DESCRIPTION:
  APAR IC25107 "WIN32 RC = 193" error still persists if file
  "program" exists in c:\, and dsmcutil install attempts to use
  a path which points to "c:\program files\..."
  .
  ex: (assumes file c:\program exists)
  dsmcutil install /name:"TEST SCHED" /node:<node> /password:<pw>
    /clientdir:"c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient"
    /validate:yes /startnow:yes /autostart:yes
  .
  This has been tested and confirmed on TSM 3.7.x and 4.1.x
  of the client.
  .
  Also note that the file "c:\program" may be a result of APAR
  IC25404.  If this file contains useless data, it can be
  discarded or renamed to resolve the Win32 RC 193 error.



  LOCAL FIX:
  APAR IC25107 local fix still applies.  Instead of using entire
  path name (surrounded by quotes), use the dos 8.3 name for
  "program files" instead ("progra", then a tilde, then a "1").
  ex:
  dsmcutil install /name:"TEST SCHED" /node:<node> /password:<pw>
    /clientdir:c:\progra 1\tivoli\tsm\baclient
    /validate:yes /startnow:yes /autostart:yes


  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Windows client                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: APAR IC25107 still has problems if the  *
  *                      file "c:/program" exists.               *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the csd when available.                *
  ****************************************************************


  PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
  To install TSM service we use the Win32 API function
  CreateService(). This function takes a pointer to a string that
  contains the fully qualified path to the service binary file. If
  the path contains a space, it must be quoted so that it is
  correctly interpreted. If the path is not quoted and the file
  "c:/program" exists then the service fails to install.
    Added code to quote the path if it contains a space.

Subject:  Re: NT Service installation

What service pack are you at on this computer?

I've had this problem and found if I go into the registry and double the
double quotes around the service name, ""TSM SQL SCHEDULER""  it then works.
This is a NT SP problem fix but I have seen it return even though the SP is
installed.
