There is a command line client for OS X. It is in version 5.2.2. Here is a
link to the README:

http://ftp.cac.psu.edu/pub/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/client/v5r2/Mac/v522/IP22732_README

Here are some of the items listed under "What's New":

    - Macintosh OS X boot-time scheduler support
    - Macintosh OS X command-line Administrative client interface
    - Macintosh OS X command-line Backup-Archive client interface
    - Macintosh OS X support for non-administrator users
      on Mac OS 10.2 and Mac OS 10.3 only

NFS support is still a problem and is documented under the "Known problems
and limitations."
