I see your "exclude" statements below. I do not see any "include" statements. 
Do you include the directories for your SQL data? If you perform a backup 
command manually does it work as expected?

Subject: [ADSM-L] Windows 2008 Cluster Backup won't start

  Hello all,

We have been having a issue with a Windows 2008 Cluster setup for about
5 nights. All the backups run except the cluster backup ("SSENT-B-CLUSTER")

no errors
the backups schedules without error
but the backup never kicks off. nothing happens
on the tsm server it looks like it creates a session and immediately
terminates it. nothing appears on the client.
The setup and logs are below can anyone give advice or comment on what
could possibly be wrong.

the cluster is on the E drive
E:\TSM\

dsmerror.log (nothing in there)
