Someone here has gone off and created their own cmd file that TSM launches
to do an archive. I can't seem to find anything in the help file on these
variables. Maybe someone more familiar with variables can please tell me if
this will work. From what I can tell looking at the return codes it looks
like it is saying it found nothing to backup and reports a failure.

I'm told if they run this cmd file manually from the server it works. Why
then would TSM have a problem with it when all it's doing is calling the
same file?
