I actually got this working. Here is what I remember. All TSM settings, when compared to the other server, matched perfectly. PROMPTED is in fact being used.
Could be related to daylight savings time but smit showed the date and time differently than when issuing the command line "date" through the OS, which as it turns out was 1 hour different. This did not match what TSM was showing also. An accept date said it accepted the date and changed but it still did not match what the OS was saying. I forced through the OS command line, the time to be correct, accepted the date in TSM, once they matched things cleaned themselves up.

But that does not change the fact that randomization has no bearing when SCHEDMODE PROMPTED is being used, which is what Geoff says he is using. Randomization affects POLLING schedulers only (see HELP QUERY STATUS and HELP SET RANDOMIZE).. Now... having said that... my response to Geoff indicated that he should verify that PROMPTED is indeed being used, and if not, then randomization would certainly contribute to the symptom he is seeing.
