That won't fix THIS issue.  This error message is quite descriptive.  The
backup vm command really isn't supported on the 64 bit client.  And the TSM
scripts use that command.

I'll point out that the backup vm command is not necessary to backup virtual
machines with TSM through a proxy server, however, and we don't use it with
our implementation.  So you can back them up with the 64bit client if you
don't use the VMware supplied TSM pre-sched command scripts.
