I'm wondering if there are filesystem fragmentation issues when using devclass=file on an NFS mounted DD volume. Filesystem fragmentation is an issue when using devclass=file on most filesystems that I'm aware of. How long have you been running this way on the DD?

In the "best practices" document from DataDomain http://www.datadomain.com/pdf/GlassHouse-TSM-DataDomain-Whitepaper.pdf and what other things I read, it sounded like the VTL "mimicry" is not really needed in a TSM environment unless you are doing lan-free or NDMP backups.

I'm curious why you decided to use devclass=file volumes, instead of using the DD580 as a VTL. It does have a VTL personality, doesn't it?
