Check the obvious: Is the scheduler process, or CAD, running on the
clients where the schedules did not run?  If not, the TSM server
Activity Log will record inability to contact them.

The TSM Problem Determination Guide has a good section on pursuing
scheduler problems.  There is also topic "Schedule, missed" in ADSM
QuickFacts summarizing common problems.

As an aside: You say you are trying to schedule daily incremental and
weekly full backups.  That kind of practice harks back to the 1980s,
and is very contrary to the capabilities of the TSM product, for
which your site has paid a lot of money.  If there are no *very*
compelling reasons for that incr+full approach, by all means use the
"incremental forever" approach that TSM is designed to use.
