Not having seen this myself I'm just offering ideas...

     What platform is your client?
     Could it be that something like the file is being restored but bindery
     information or directory information isn't available anymore?

     I've had my worst problems with the GUI
     fewer problems with cmdln -pick
     even fewer problems w/ cmdln using wild cards
     never had a problem with "restore some.specific.file"
     Often queries haven't shown the files to exist within ADSM and I'd see
     different lists based on if I did a GUI query, a cmdln query, or a
     -pick list but as mentioned if a file's name is known and deleted
     where its last copy hasn't expired I've never had a problem with
     restore specific.blah

Michel,

Thanks for the note. I just tried  restoring from the GUI but this did
not work.  I have a PMR open with IBM but their initial comments were

 - use the pick option
 - be more selective on the restore!!
 - update the client code.

The first two comments are not a lot of help since I have identified
the file causing the problems. The last one well who knows.

Regards,
Paul.
