Stormy,

Have you tried deleting the existing .pwd files in the BA directory then 
running a manual and re-entering the info? If so, then I would recommend 
backing off to a 4.1 rev of the client. Also,
as with any Netware problem, make sure you have the latest TSA nlms, tsa5up7 
last time I checked.

Are you getting prompted for the Novell username and pwd, or the TSM one? I'm 
having a problem on our Netware cluster nodes that's similar, scheduled backups 
run for a couple of nights and
then fail because of a prompt for the TSM userid and pwd. This seems to be a 
problem since I upgraded our server from 3.1.x to 4.1.4. Very frustrating.
