Arvis (and others) - the problem was that the user who created the
files in question had limited disk space.  As the files were being
restored in *non-compressed* mode, the user's disk space was indeed
exceeded.

By temporarily removing the user's disk space limits, the files were
finally restored.

My thanks to Doug Baker of Wesleyan University for this suggestion.

Tom.
