Timothy, The TSM return codes are set based on the highest severity issue that was encountered during the backup. There is a chapter in the client manual on return code that discusses the "rules" for how messages determine the return code (just in case you aren't already familiar with that information). In older client manuals it used to be part of the chapter on scheduling, but in the current manual it has its own chapter.
In the messages you showed here, I see nothing that would cause the RC to be set to 12. Check dsmsched.log and dsmerror.log for other messages that might indicate a problem. There has to be some error message there (unrelated to skipped files) that is triggering the RC 12.
