I see similar problems. Since I had seen few comments like this about TSM
Scheduler on Mac OS X, I figured my problem was my ignorance of the Mac
environment in general, and OS X in particular.
I have an iMac where I installed OS X. I removed all the TSM client stuff
from the OS 9 environment. Installed TSM 5.1, which comes with the OS 9
Backup Client and Scheduler. Placed TSM Mac X Scheduler Daemon in System
Preferences Personal Login Items, as instructed.
This causes the TSM OS 9 Scheduler to start. I can see it in the Dock. It
fails however, with an error, to the effect not to run a Classic
Application in OS X environment.
So I trash all the TSM OS 9 Backup Client and Scheduler applications, and
now the OS X Scheduler does nothing. I try to start it, it tries, but does
nothing.
Anyway, I know there are some universities out there who have been
clamoring for the OS X client, and I wonder what I am doing wrong, since
they have not chimed in on this issue, and must be happily supplying the OS
X client to their customers.

My user reports the same problem. He's doing manual backups in the meantime.

I would be careful recommending TSM for OSX.
I am having problems getting the TSM 5.1 Scheduler to work properly on a Mac
running OS X. I had previously been running a lower version under OS 9 and
I believe I have followed all the installation instructions for the new
version.
When I start the TSM Mac X Scheduler Daemon it seems to initiate the TSM
Scheduler (not the TSM Mac X Scheduler). This then pops up occasionally but
never seems to initiate a backup. If I start TSM Mac X Scheduler directly,
it initially bounces in the dock and then it starts TSM Scheduler (once then
then ran and did a backup but now it just quits as soon as I enter the login
info.
Is this a problem with permissions? I am logged in to an administrator
account.
