I am actually rather confused by where libobk.a was
before I did the uninstall of the TDP. Since
uninstalling, the error I got was it couldn't find
libobk.a but I went through my backups searching for
libobk.a and it just didn't exist. I was assuming tsm
would backup up the symbolic link if it was in
/usr/lib but according to the backup, there was no
libobk.a on disk, it only existed in my oracle 8.1.7.0
and oracle 8.1.7.1 directories.

I am thinking that it isn't really worth pursing this.
I can just move my planned upgrade forward and use
RMAN with the Oracle TDP. I just wanted to get my
backups sorted out before I went but such is life.

Thanks again,
Boris
