My solution to this problem was to stylize my server-start process
into a script, which does the following:

1) Set environment correctly for the server in question
(i.e. for 'test' server:)
export DSMSERV_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/
export DSMSERV_CONFIG=/var/tsm/test/dsmserv.opt
export DSMSERV_ACCOUNTING_DIR=/var/tsm/test

2) cd to the place where the dsmserv.dsk is (in this case
'/var/tsm/test') I call it the server's directory.

3) Start dsmserv with "-- SERVERNAME"

Nothing at all wrong with your solution, as far as I can tell.
