Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious, but you created the file with a
different name:

  D:\tsmdata\server1\extrareclogspace

whereas the server looks for it in the directory from which you started
the dsmserv command:

 > FILES\TIVOLI\TSM\SERVER1\EXTRAREECLOGSPACE.

Apart from the extra "E" in the filename, this is a different directory.
