This should turn up all files and directories which

Hmm, that doesn't work as I expect:

the

archives do not contain any files, though.

The following command:

... does result in many files being shown (but no directories):

Jurjen -

You're not seeing directories in your query results because, according
to the provided info, you're already specifying the full path to the
lowest level directory containing the files, rather than specifying a
higher position in the path. TSM has nothing left to show but the files
therein. My original response suggested the ultimate high level: the
file system name, which should then show all your archived directories
and files within it. At a minimum, specify one higher directory level.
