I have often seen the same problem.

Once, I turned on some tracing and found that dsmserv checks every 30
seconds for events it should be starting, but it still didn't start
the event until 10 minutes later.
Using schedmode prompted, not polling;
dsmc has recently stopped and started;

it's an annoying mystery to me.
I bet Mr. Raibeck might have an answer.

Richard,
Thank you for the suggestions. We corrected the Managedservices
option, and reran the backup attempt by updating starttime to 'now'.
Still no activity. Here is the client's dsm.sys file after the
correction.
