Since you are investing time in upgrading the client, why not go with the 5.3.6 on the w2K boxes, and 5.5.1 on the 2003 boxes? A 5.4 server will handle 5.5 clients, and you will not have to go back to the 2003 servers when you upgrade your TSM server.
I remember having this problem on some boxes, before I upgraded, where it was like everything on the server and client thought the backups were running, but a query of the sessions on the server showed idlew, and no increase of data flow. The only thing that resolved our issues was the client upgrade. So, since I was having to touch the box anyway, I started upgrading the clients as I found the problem, and wound up saving more time than it cost.
