On the failed client schedules...
You could set a "postschedcmd" to run a script that does something like a
        grep -i fail sched.log | mail -s $(hostname)_bkup_failures

Here we have about 500 clients, mainly  big unix servers... we have a fleet
of unix admins and we make it their job to check their  backups.  We (the
TSM server admins) just don't have the time.  We provide a single web site
with a page of all "exceptions" to the previous days backups but beyond that
"it is not our problem"
