I ran into a similar problem, there were special characters hidden in the
dsm.sys file but we were not able to determine what they were. I would
recommend:
1. Rename the current dsm.sys to dsm.sys.old
2. Create a new dsm.sys (DO NOT cut and paste) then save it
3. Try the backup again.
In my case, support was able to replicate the problem in their lab using
the dsm.sys from the customers TSM Client. They were never able to
determine what the characters were or where they were located in the
dsm.sys file
Best Regards,

try executing dsmc since command line, perhaps be a problem with some
configuration in option files.
