Is bkstg01 your directory name or the volume name you want to use? Also do you have rights to write to that path and have an available 20gb free?

 

[jbautista]

yes, it is the volume name and it has an allocated 50gb of space free.
yes, it does have the right to write to the path because the /tsmstgfs is owned by the tsminst1 instance as show below

drwxrwxrwx 2 tsminst1 tsmsrvrs 256 Apr 26 12:28 tsmstgfs

help ANR7864W points to lack of space (in TSM 5.x). Maybe its labelled as a different error in 6.x?
