ADSM accepts the command without complaining but also without copying the
file. You will notice the problem when you attempt to retrieve the file.

We had the same problem and have opened a PMR in February. Unfortunately,
I have the number not at hand. The PMR seems to be closed meanwhile. The
last info we got is the following note of February 22 [translated from
German]:

  The lab is currently working on an APAR: IC12291. This APAR addresses your
  problem with a Windows NT client.

  Currently there are negotiations with the development lab whether
  to open another APAR for the AIX client. I keep you informed.

IBM AIX (on SP2) is apparently not a client that would be important
enough to IBM to be supported.
