You must be at v5.1.5.13, available in the patches directory of the
ftp site.  This was a known problem with v5.1.5.0.

Hi - Just upgraded to MacOS X Server 10.2.  TSM will not back up
folders whose owners have more than 16 characters in their shortname.
The program just fails (crashes without even generating a crashlog -
just disappears).  Our scheduled backups are the same - the scheduler
just dies, and we get an 'in progress' in the morning report.  The log
shows thew last files that were backed up, then nothing.
