Farren - Please post what directories are at issue so we can ponder further. Are you backing up by double-clicking the "TSM Backup" icon, or the "TSM Backup for Administrators" icon? From your posting, I presume the latter. Do the directory permissions prohibit access in general? If you go into Preferences, does the Include-Exclude list happen to exclude those directories? Administrator is not the same as root, but should have general read access to the file systems.
