Andy,

Here are the "strange" results.  By strange, I mean, it says the logs are
on: f:\tsmlogs\ (confirmed) but nothing in the DSM.OPT it says we are
using, point to there.

In case it might be effecting things, this server is running the Domino
TDP.

Hi Zoltan,

Identify the name of the scheduler service. If you don't know it, use the
TSM dsmcutil utility to identify what TSM service(s) you have:

   dsmcutil list

Pick out the scheduler service name, then run:

   dsmcutil query /name:"scheduler_service_name"

for example:

   dsmcutil query /name:"tsm central scheduler service"

(names are case insensitive)

It should show you which dsm.opt file is being used, as well as if any
non-default error log and schedule log files are being used.

Verify the dsm.opt file that is being used. If it is different than the
one
you think it is, that would be another explanation for your adding
SNAPSHOTPROVIDERFS VSS to the options file did not work.
