Del,
I have tried IBM Support. Our local IBM TSM support is usually very good but
it looks like he got to a brick wall at the IBM Lab. Below is part of the
final answer after having made a number of iterations (Dutch PMR 04903):

-'Conclusion, you might disagree with the way TSM works, but I will say that
you better contact your IBM/Tivoli representive to have him/her open a
Design Enhancement Request or a Design Change Request. I have already been
in contact this the Lab and they stated that this is not a bug.
The point is that to be able to restore from both LAN and SAN, TSM needs a
multisession restore, and that is apparently only possible by using the "no
query restore". Thus it seem that the workaround is either to migrate file
to tape first, or to use a NQR. '

Regards,
Jan

Jan,

This doesn't sound right.
The DP for xxx clients should be able to restore the data
without having to do anything special.

Files which are inaccessible to the storage agent
are supposed to be restored, although there will be a performance hit.
These files are supposed to be proxy restored from the server to
the storage agent and from there back to the client (the data is moved
twice).

If you are not finding that to be the case,
please call IBM support.

Thanks,

Del
