Micheal, you and I seem to be having a very similar problem.  In addition
to Timothy Pittson's advice (regarding using a command like q filespace to
force the client's initial password), you may want to look at your
client's dsm.sys and dsm.opt files.  APAR IC11651 claims that if
PASSWORDACCESS is set to GENERATE in dsm.sys, then dsm.opt should *not*
contain a NODE line.  (This may not apply to all versions of the AIX
client.)

Further (and I found this by trial and error) the node name, as defined to
the server, must be the same as is returned by the client's hostname
command.  It's not just the first first part of the hostname; it's the
full hostname.  Hope this helps.
