Is it not possible that the /var filesystem *sometimes* has too little space available? After all, didn't you say that this only fails roughly every one to two weeks? Perhaps the failures coincide with some other activity (possibly unrelated to TSM) that temporarily eats up most/all of the available space in /var? Dumps? Logs? Something else?

The server code runs as root, which can write to any file in any directory, regardless of ownership and permission bits. The server usually can write to the file. We update the volume history file many times every day, and the errors occur once every week or two on average. >It's going to be one of those three things. No, its not.
