Stormy, Have you tried deleting the existing .pwd files in the BA directory then running a manual and re-entering the info? If so, then I would recommend backing off to a 4.1 rev of the client. Also, as with any Netware problem, make sure you have the latest TSA nlms, tsa5up7 last time I checked.
Are you getting prompted for the Novell username and pwd, or the TSM one? I'm having a problem on our Netware cluster nodes that's similar, scheduled backups run for a couple of nights and then fail because of a prompt for the TSM userid and pwd. This seems to be a problem since I upgraded our server from 3.1.x to 4.1.4. Very frustrating.
