We've discussed similar cases before (in this mailing list) in cases
where scheduled backups of Windows clients fail with no error messages.
See question 4-19 in the monthly TSM FAQ, published on or near the first
of every month.

The acid test for this is to run the backup manually after mounting the
filesystem manually. If it is successful, then Salak's answer is on the
nose.
