Keep in mind that Netware volumes have a feature for compressing the
actual files located on disk. Is the process running uncompressing
Netware-compressed files, then recompressing them via TSM? I've had
issues several years ago where this was the case.

Hmm.  Given that, and whereas it takes 10x longer for the client to
do backups with compression than without, does your client backup
log show retries with compression?  I'm wondering if it's something
like having COMPRESSAlways No in effect and the files already being
compressed such that the expand in client compression and the
transaction has to be repeated?  There should be some indication in
your logs as to why this behavior is occurring.  If not, consider
activating client tracing for a sample job.
