I disagree with you on this one, in prior versions TSm was reporting a
success even if it failed on backup of thousands of files.
I'd much rather see it as a failure if one file fails backup

I think it's true!
I tested the new client on a W2k machine and I got the same RC you
described
below.
If one file fails (e.g. it's in use by another proccess), the schedule
returns with a result code of 4.
I hope Tivoli works on a fix for that.
We have some automatically checking for result code <> 0 (if there was
a problem while backing up; and I think "file in use..." isn't a big
problem)
regards,
Joachim Stumpf
