The 5.3.0.0 outputs an extra header line -- the ANS message just happens to be the last line displayed.
Changing the tail +10 to tail +11 and the output is the same between versions.

I don't know the history of the ANS8000I message, but from what I can gather, it is working correctly in 5.3. If you look up ANS8000I, you'll see it is issued when running a macro or when running in batch mode. Since that message contains the text you are grep-ing on, it is displayed. You can add the -DATAONLY=YES option when invoking dsmadmc to suppress ANS8000I and other informational messages displayed by the admin client (barring error conditions, which are not suppressed). Try it and see if that helps.
