While I don't run multiple TDP-R3's. I thought I might make some observations: You are running the TDP-R3 backups from crontab you say, so there are three crontab entries, one for each ora<sid> that look like "brbackup -<some parameters>" or at least call a script which executes brbackup. The current directory is ora<sid>'s home directory unless changed by a script that calls brbackup. You should be looking there for ds*error.log. Note that backint uses the TSM API, thus expect dsierror.log not dsmerror.log. Also check dsm.sys and dsm.opt in /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin although they may link to ../../ba/bin/. I am not sure why you code domain statements for your sap log and data filesystems. This suggests you are taking duplicate (I might note unusable) backups of log and data files in your incremental backups, unless you exclude them, thus meaning you are just backing up the directory structure in the log and data filesets.
I experienced problems with the TDP-R3 full offline backup at the 3.2.0.3 level that were all traced back to TDP-R3's use of memory. Try a newer version. The only version I have successfully used in production is 3.2.0.4. I've tried 3.2.0.5 but I have problems at that level. I hear 3.2.0.6 is out but I have yet to try it. You must have a LOT of tape drives to run 3 TDP-R3 at the same time. Try summing the SESSIONS parameter in each $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<SID>.utl file. If that sum exceeds the number of tape drives you have on TSM server, expect problems such as you are experiencing. The solution is to run TDP-R3 serially.
