John -

The ANS4008E message is conventionally due to file locking.  In a
Samba environment you can use its command 'smbstatus -L' to check on
what locks are in effect, where the DenyMode seems to have more to do
with the locking than what you see in the R/W column - which is to say
that even if the R/W column shows a RDWR lock, one can still cat the
file.  I'm no Samba expert, so can't say definitively if you can get
around this for TSM backups.  See background info in 
http://oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch05_05.html
 .  An emulation environment like this can be bewildering when trying
to figure out issues.
