Hi Theresa, I had similar problem. Check your LANG environment variable for user under which you are running backup scripts (RMAN). It should be equal to language used in TSM API. For example: if you have En_US subdirectory in TSM api client, your LANG variable have to be LANG=En_US.
Hope this helps Ing. Jozef Zatko Login a.s.

Environment: AIX 51 ML3 TSM Server 5162 TSM (ba) Client 510 (64 bit) TSM (api) Client 4210 (32 bit) TDP (oracle) Client 2210 (32 bit) Oracle Enterprise Server 817 As this server is running AIX5 w/ Oracle 817 databases I had to install TDP 2210 (if I read the documentation right), and TDP 22 installed the 4210 (32 bit) API. No matter what we try RMAN will not backup, we went from seeing the following errrors: RMAN-03007: retryable error occurred during execution of command: allocate RMAN-07004: unhandled exception during command execution on channel dev1 RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-19554: error allocating device, device type: SBT_TAPE, device name: ORA-19557: device error, device type: SBT_TAPE, device name: ORA-27000: skgfqsbi: failed to initialize storage subsystem (SBT) layer IBM AIX RISC System/6000 Error: 2534: System call error number 2534. to this error: RMAN-03007: retryable error occurred during execution of command: allocate RMAN-07004: unhandled exception during command execution on channel dev1 RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-19554: error allocating device, device type: SBT_TAPE, device name: ORA-19557: device error, device type: SBT_TAPE, device name: ORA-27000: skgfqsbi: failed to initialize storage subsystem (SBT) layer IBM AIX RISC System/6000 Error: 2518: System call error number 2518.

I also provided the tdpoerror.log - though I don't think it'll help any. I've gone through all relevant archive articles and nothing seems to apply to my situation. I also opened a PMR with TSM Support, but I haven't heard anything back yet. Any help would be appreciated.
