I looked at the release notes of the TSM client 4.2.0 and it states:

o The functionality of the Tivoli Storage Manager Linux client is designed
  and tested to work on file systems of the common types EXT2, ReiserFS,
  VFAT, NFS (see under known problems and limitations for supported
  environment), and ISO9660 (CD-ROM). Backup and archive for other file
  system types is not excluded. They will be tolerated and performed in
  compatibility mode.
  This means that features of other file systems types may not be supported
  by the Linux client. These file system type information of such file
  systems will be forced to unknown.

So I guess XFS will work with this version, but without support for ACL and 
extended attributes.

I am using Legato Networker for my Linux machines with several XFS 
filesystems myself. It works without problems. I am not using ACLs or 
extended attributes right now.
