Without seeing the error messages, it's very hard to tell what the
problem is.

Considering that you indicate a problem writing files, the problem
*might* be:
1. You've read from a compressed volume and you're writing to an
uncompressed one
2. The reverse of 1.
3. The NetWare ID you log on with to perform the restore lacks
permission to write to the requested volume/directory. (Always use a
top-level NetWare admin ID to perform restores.)

It is almost certainly not a TSM client issuem. Both version 5.1 and 5.2
of the TSM NetWare client support NetWare 6; as long as your target box
is running 5.1 or 5.2, you're good to go there...
