I see similar problems. Since I had seen few comments like this about TSM Scheduler on Mac OS X, I figured my problem was my ignorance of the Mac environment in general, and OS X in particular.
I have an iMac where I installed OS X. I removed all the TSM client stuff from the OS 9 environment. Installed TSM 5.1, which comes with the OS 9 Backup Client and Scheduler. Placed TSM Mac X Scheduler Daemon in System Preferences Personal Login Items, as instructed. This causes the TSM OS 9 Scheduler to start. I can see it in the Dock. It fails however, with an error, to the effect not to run a Classic Application in OS X environment. So I trash all the TSM OS 9 Backup Client and Scheduler applications, and now the OS X Scheduler does nothing. I try to start it, it tries, but does nothing. Anyway, I know there are some universities out there who have been clamoring for the OS X client, and I wonder what I am doing wrong, since they have not chimed in on this issue, and must be happily supplying the OS X client to their customers.
