It sure seems to me like your command should work (notice that if you omit
the *, you don't need the quotes)::
dsmc restore /filesystem/directory/ /restorefs/ -subdir=yes -tapeprompt=no
-fromn=XX
After you issue this, run QUERY SESSION from the Admin interface.... what
does it show for this node's session(s)? If it is in a "run" state, then
everything should be good.... just give a little time.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
