I'd assume your mail server has been up for some time.  Maybe there is process 
other than the TSM client that has a  memory leak and has consumed available 
memory/swap.  That's where I'd look next.

Not in this situation.

This is a Cyrus email system using imap. *ALL* user mailboxes are in
/var/spool/imap and /../imap2 and so on.  These are permanent files.

The directory in the error message contains over 22K files.

To be honest, the files you appeared to be choking on were from
/var/spool. This directory generally contains only files that are
discarded once they are spooled to whatever destination they're headed
for. If you continue to have problems, I'd be inclined to add

        exclude /var/spool/.../*

to my dsm.sys file.
