You probably have one or more error messages in your dsmerror.log and/or dsmsched.log files that were unrelated to skipped files.
For more info on the 5.1 return codes, see chapter 7 in the client manual, "Automating Tasks", section "Return Codes from the Command Line Interface". This info applies to the scheduler as well.
