This was a brand new machine with no TSM code on it.

The standard installation method was used, just default modules were
loaded.

The error message we get is:

ANS1228E Sending of object \\hostname\c$ failed
ANS1381E The snapshot cache location cannot be located on the same
volume that is being backed up.
ANS1228E Sending of object \\hostname\c$ failed
ANS1377E Unable to perform operation using a point-in-time copy of the
filesystem on '\\hostname\c$.  The backup/archive operation will
continue without snapshot support.


I am not 100% sure what it is doing right now and am hoping that you can
shed some light on the situation.
