To use FROMNODE, the original client must have authorized the restoring
client with DSMC SET ACCESS.  The syntax is tricky and it takes me a few
tries unless I open up for all files to be restored by all users.  Use
DELETE ACCESS when no longer needed.

The SET ACCESS assumes the original system is around to issue the command.
An alternative is to use NODENAME instead and enter the password for the
original system.
