That sounds kinda like the problem but I am already running TSM Storage
Agent 6.3.3.2 (the fix is to use SA 6.3 or greater).   Here are the
versions I currently have installed:

TSM Storage Agent  6.3.3.2
TSM for VE              7.1.1.0
TSM Client               7.1.1.0

Do you think upgrading any of these would help?  The APAR also states this
will be fixed in 7.1.3  but the latest I see for download is 7.1.2.0 right
now.


Local fix

   -

   Upgrade Tivoli Storage Agent to versions v6.3 or higher
