Take a look at the date ranges in your selection window (Titled "Retrieve
Scope").

I had this problem, and it was resolved by making the From: portion
of the date ranges suitably recent.  The problem seems to originate
in the conversion from the two-digit GUI year, and the 4-digit year
required by ADSMServ.  I don't know what the breakpoint is, but a
year is assumed to be post-2000 if the 2-digit year is suitably small.

I hope no-one in ADSM development gets offended, but the inconsistencies
in the software from platform to platform (indeed, interface to interface
on the SAME platform) are the largest headache I have with this product.
