Oracle scheduler fails if started in background

Hi everyone,

We have strange behavior on TDP Oracle backup (TSM scheduled), we installed
exactly same configuration on another Solaris box where the scheduled
backup (in backround) completed sucessfully, as far as I know the only
difference is Solaris version 8.

All comments are welcome.

TSM Server 5.1.5.2 on W2K platform
TSM BA Client 5.1.5.0 and TDPO 5.1.5 on Solaris 2.6

 If we start the scheduler in foreground, the backup completes whithout
error. We use this command:
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched -se=tsm1_sched

If we start the scheduler in background, the backup fails, but Q EVENTS
says Completed, RMAN dos not start (no records in the RMAN Log). We use the
"at" command to start the scheduler in background:

at now
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched -se=tsm1_sched
"ctrl-D"

Following are records from actlog, schedlog and  q events, when backup
fails (shedule started in background). Also the dsm.sys file.

actlog:
