Error description
The problem is that the Setup Wizard can not tell if the user is an Administrator or a non-admin. It can tell if the user is root. When the setup wizard is started from TSM Tools for Administrators, the option files are placed in the common location and all users have access. When the setup wizard is started from Tivoli Storage Manager, the option files are (supposed to) split between the central location for dsm.sys and the user location for dsm.opt.
