rman is Oracle utility. Its purpose is to provide backup of Oracle database. 
From Oracle point of view, it does not know about TSM. It thinks, it is backing 
up to tape because of "sbt_tape". To backup to tape, RMAN is using specific 
library with API to ba
ckup to tape. But in case of TSM (TDP) this library was changed to library 
which translate those API commands to commands for TDP.

I suppose, you should review your tsm configuration.
