I am having the same issue.

It is due to the latest MS worm hit to your W2K clients.  If you will look
before you try a backup, the RPC service is not running. When it isn't
running, you get the errors below.  If you reboot the box and RPC fires back
up, no problems on the backups.

Your servers/workstations will need to be patched.  Go to MS website for
bulletin on MS03-026 to get the appropriate patch.  Be careful, the 03-026
patch can cause issues on servers as it affects DCOM functionality.

TSM 5.1.6.6 client on Windows2000. Server is running MSSQLServer, too.

Anyone seen any errors like this? Queries on ADSM.ORG and IBM get no hits.
