I'm Netware-ignorant, but this sounds like an install problem: see if you can review what transpired in the install, and check the Readme file for any gotchas.
Not an install problem since dsmcad loads fine from command prompt, just not autoexec.ncf
To employ a Unix analogy, it might work as a circumvention if it could be started by doing a 'cd' to the client directory first, then launch, which may allow it to find its resources...if that kind of thing works in a Netware environment.
I believe the problem is that when dsmcad looks for the default dsm.opt file it is looking in the wrong place ( \SYS:TIVOLI/TSM/CLIENT/BA/dsm.opt instead of <SERVERNAME>\SYS:TIVOLI/TSM/CLIENT/BA/dsm.opt ) The 5.2.x client does not have this problem, just the 5.3.x client. I will open up a bug report with IBM since I can duplicate this at will. Just installed a basic Netware 6.5 server and applied sp5. This bug shows up right away which is why I am very surprised that nobody else has run across it.
