I also have to wonder which version of the client the originator of this
thread is running. Version 4.2.1.0 had a bug in it, APAR IC31844, where
skipped files would cause the event to be reported as "Failed".

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.

Your first point of reference should be the Backup-Archive Clients manual,
which fully explains this.  RC=4 simply means that some file could not be
processed, as you cited...

By all means, exclude things you know should not or cannot be treated by
TSM -
providing that you don't want them handled by TSM at all.  If the owner of
the
files is operating under the same options file, then they will be subject
to the
same rules, so consider that in formulating your options environment.
