Ok,

Disclaimer #1 - I have never tried this.
Disclaimer #2 - I'm not painfully familair with solaris ( that's my guess at 
the os you're using )

BUT.. in theory ( cracks knuckles ), if your user account(s) had rw access to 
the Drives/Library ( i.e. /dev/XXXX ), the TSM process ( i.e. daemon ) _should_ 
be allowed to run in user space, given that any port >1024 is unprivileged.  

I don't know what sort of dependancies the drivers might hold on needing root 
privileges, but even if the SysAdmin made a disk group and changed the devices 
to be owned and rw by that group, I don't see why it couldn't be done.

well, there's my 2cents.  change is expected.

Our company uses Powerbroker access instead of sudo and they don't want to
give us
pbrun su-root privileges. Any other ideas?
