I checked those configurations and they were correct.   I found an
command in one of these emails under dsmc that prompted you to re
register your node and password.  I ran the command and reentered the
node and password and it seems to be running the archive backup now.
But I can't get back to the syntax command I had.   Got a call and it
distracted me from loosing the email.   It went something like dsmc node
dir.   Anyone good at dsmc.  

Thanks Mindy

When configured in an MSCS environment, there should be one node for
each machine to manage each machine's local disk resources; and there
should be another node for the cluster resources. When connecting with
the cluster node name, make sure your options file has CLUSTERNODE YES
in it; and when connecting with the machine's local node name, make sure
you are using CLUSTERNODE NO. MIsmatching the node name and CLUSTERNODE
settings can cause the authentication problems you see.

If this doesn't help, then it would be useful to see the client options
files you are using, the *complete* output from dsmc.exe showing the
failure, any dsmerror.log messages that coincide with the time that you
tried to connect to the TSM server, your dsmcutil command(s) and
*complete* output.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
