You should upgrade to 3.7.2 client, for sure --- check the rap sheet for
details of all the problems fixed, ie the README file.  And, it's the
"absolute" mode (rather than "modified" mode) of incremental that is failing
--- is that what you're calling "must backup"?
Are you really running AIX-V3, or was that a typo?
Are you really running AIX-V3, or was that a typo?

Also, what level of TSM server are you running?  3.7.3 seems to be the most
stable level since 3.7 base.
