If I remember correctly I uninstalled the TSM 32bit code & then installed
the 64bit (same version). The only difference is that I'm running AIX 5.1.

Haven't done the exact situation you described but my guess is you'd
have to upgrade the OS to 5.2, verify bos.64bit is installed, bootinfo
-K says 64 (if it doesn't, you'll need to adjust the two symlinks, do
bosboot, and reboot), then uninstall tsm.server.rte and install
tivoli.tsm.server.aix5.rte64, and make sure TSM and the OS is
patched/upgraded.

You'd be well advised to take a mksysb backup of the system prior to the
upgrade and perhaps do the 4.3.3->5.2 upgrade via alt_disk_migration.
