Thank you (and everyone who responded) for the info.

I kinda figured as much.

Next question.....what did you mean by "when your retention perior has 
expired..........." ????????   What "retention period" are you refering to 
?

Hi Zoltan,

you have installed a Unicode enabled client on this machines and in
the node definition you will find "Auto Filespace Rename = Yes".

TSM can't change filespaces on the fly to unicode so it renames
the non-unicode filespaces to ..._old, creates new unicode filespaces
and does a "full" backup for this filespaces.
When your retention period has expired you can delete this filespaces.

These filespace names recently appeared for a server that was
upgraded/replaces (retained the old TSM name).

What are these _OLD filespaces ?

They don't seem to physically exists !
