As a refinement to what Richard suggests, you might try using the option format=macro rather than format=raw. In this case, where you're essentially copying your scripts en masse between servers, you would be able to dump all of the commands scripts from the existing server to a file with a single command, and re-create all of the scripts on the new server by processing that file with the macro command.
Take Richard's final recommendation to heart. Maintaining the scripts external to TSM will be worth any additional effort required; the TSM web interface to edit scripts leaves a lot to be desired, and there is no undo...

Greg - From http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts :
Scripts, move between servers Do 'Query SCRIPT scriptname FORMAT=RAW OUTPUTFILE=____' to a file, move the file to the other system, and then do a 'DEFine SCRIPT ... FILE=____' to take that file as input.
Still, the best overall approach is to maintain your complex server scripts external to the TSM server and re-import after editing.
