Naveed,

We have done this often.  However, we do not use the set access and the
fromnode parameters.  We use the -nodename=  parameter .  You need to
know the ADSM password of the client.

EX:     logged on to node1
        dsmc res -nodename=node2 "file" -password=xxxx

The -nodename does not work in the loop mode of the command line.
Sometimes positioning of the -nodename parameter seems to matter.
