I ran into this problem recently. In a nutshell, you can't install both the required "gskta" and "tivoli.tsm.client" filesets in one pass. (Chicken and egg dependency problem?)
The workaround I found was to make two passes through "smitty installp". The first time select and install the "gskta" filesets. The second time through, select and install the client filesets. I've installed this client level on AIX on three or four different machines, and each time the workaround was required, and each time it was succcessful.
