Support for vFiler volumes with be in the TSM 6.40 client. Note that this support will require ONTAP version 8.1.1 or greater.

At that point, I'm not sure what the value would be of using the TSM scheduler, as opposed to (e.g.) cron. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm thinking that if I want to do this, I'll probably abandon the TSM Scheduler in favor of home-grown scripting.
