Once you have manually installed the client software on the XP system, what 
is the shell command on the backup server?  I am assuming attaching to XP is 
not the same command as to a server.

I tried the one for servers 
On the DPM server, from the DPM Management Shell prompt, type 
Attach-ProductionServer.ps1 <DPM server name> <production server name> <user 
name> <password> <domain>.

But it reports 
There is failure while attaching production server
C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\bin\Attach-ProductionServer.ps1 : The 
server
 XXX could not be found in Active Directory.
At line:1 char:28
+ Attach-ProductionServer.ps1 <<<<  ...
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorExcep
   tion
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorExceptio
   n,Attach-ProductionServer.ps1

        Attaching the XP machine script is same as for the servers. Is the 
XP machine part of the same domain as the DPM server? If not can you please 
add the machine to domain and then run the setdpmserver on the XP 
machine(step 4 at: 
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb870935.aspx)? After that you 
should be able to attach the XP machine to DPM using the same way you were 
trying.
