Any chance the filesystem that they are trying to restore to no longer
exists on the client side?

It would help if you could provide a copy & paste example that
demonstrates the problem, including the QUERY BACKUP output for this
file
and the RESTORE output (as I said, use copy & paste so we can see
*exactly* what you are doing and what you are getting). Is this a
restore
to the same machine or a different machine; if different, are the OSes
the
same?

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.

I got a call from a substitute sysadmin who can't find a file.  I can
see
the file in the DB and by "dsmc -virualnodename q ba".  It's an AIX
4.3.3
box with TSM 5.1.1.0.  All attempts to restore end in either, "NO
objects
found", "Destination space unavailable', or "Invalid destination file
spec".   I can't see what he's doing wrong.
