When my site started using TDPO we regularly saw similar failures. We never figured out why TDPO needed so many mount points, but we now configure TDPO client nodes to allow two mount points per backup stream, and almost never run out of mount points. As far as I can tell, the rare cases where we do run out of mount points involve recovery from interrupted TCP sessions. I should note that our backups are written to sequential disk volumes. I would probably be a lot more worried about the extra mount points if we were sending backups directly to tape.
