Is this the first time you have attempted to backup an Oracle database? Please post the contents of the script you are using.

Did you initialize the RMAN/TSM connection to set up the password?
Do you have dsmi_log set in TDPO_OPTFILE to point to something accessible to the account RMAN is running under?

Also check permissions on your tdpoerror.log file. For some odd reason, if I use TDPCONF I have to always remember to reset permissions on tdpoerror.log. It almost always sets it to r--r--r and I've never figured out why. But I'll get that same type of error when a backup attempt occurs if I forget to set write permissions on that file.

Yes Greg i changed the permission and ownership of tdperror log to 777 and oracle user, it worked fine later with tdpoconf password and showenv. Thanks.
