Resolution

The user that is running the zman command needs to be added to the zenworks group. Run the following command to add a user to the zenworks group, for example "mjordan".
 
usermod -A zenworks mjordan
 
Then the user will be able to run the "zman ssc " command, for example:
 
zman -U=Administrator -P=novell ssc "/Servers/Branch Servers/fs8949a1coloh" Collection,Content,Authentication pdlzcm01
