I'm running the lastest version of TSM BA client (4.2.1.18) on NT4 Server
SP6a.  The TSM CAD service is managing the TSM Central Scheduler service per
the dsm.opt file.  The TSM Central Scheduler service is running under a
Domain Admin account with privileges to map these drives and the mapping
script runs fine interactively when logged on as this Domain Admin (or any
other account with priv's to these shares).  Here's a partial listing of
dsm.opt:

Here's the contents of drvmaps.cmd:

Here's the output in dsmsched.log:

The dsmerror.log contains the same error messages as in the dsmsched.log
file: ANS1228E and ANS1063E.

Is it possible that because the TSM CAD service is now managing the TSM
Scheduler service that the TSM CAD needs to run under a privileged account,
too?  It sure looks like a permissions issue, but I want to be sure I'm not
missing something else before I have to start screwing with that.  While
most of the documentation on the Tivoli site is pretty good, they do a
really lousy job addressing the myriad number of issues you can run into
with this (e.g., permissions, syntax with batch files, etc.).  BTW, anyone
know what happened to all the older documentation on the Tivoli support
site?  You can't find anything for versions earlier than 4.1 for the server
or client!

Any and all help/suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Dylan
