Richard, I'm seeing this quite a bit as well.  I removed the
"resourceutilization" parameter altogether, and get this message on some
of my nodes.  

So, if you find a fix, let us know.  The interesting thing is we're not
seeing it on all our AIX nodes.  I'm going to have to research to see if
its focused on a version of AIX, or a version of the TSM client or both.

See Ya'
Howard
