I would have thought including the main config file, where this is defined
would have acompished this. The only entires in the disk_only, and
tape_only config files are _differences_ from the main config file, which
is included in all 3 configs. Am I missing something?

Like this? 

tapedev=file:/vtapes/DailDump

OK, but the DailyDump is the defined in config, and I would not have
thought I would have gotten as far as being allowed to slect the restore
data set, and prompted for a tape if this was not working. Is this wrong?

That has been my experince in the past too. But in this case it's not
working. Of course, since it's a complex config I have a "point of fear"
about this.
