Yes, I've been bitten by this. A Windows 2000 client ran the Client
Acceptor under the LocalSystem account. One day, the Windows administrator
changed a drive to exclude LocalSystem from having access. The TSM client
didn't use a DOMAIN statement.
This resulted in that drive to be skipped without *any* message, warning or
error. If the drive would have been in a DOMAIN statement, an error would have
been issued.
There is an APAR for this behaviour, but that is closed as a suggestion
because IBM finds it too much trouble to fix.
