When EBU tries to restore the catalog database, it sends a lot of queries;
basically, it starts from sequence number xxx000 to xxx999 for each day until it
finds a match.  So, you will see a lot of no objects on the server match query
messages.

The other thing you can do is to specify the sequence number.  If you want to
restore the sequence number 20 from 06/25/99, you can specify

         restore catalog=<ebu catalog name> to="06/26/1999" seq=20


The other problem you might be running into is that you initiated your backups
from catalog database node and trying to restore from target database node; thus
agent cannot find the backups.
From which node, catalog or target, did you back up?  If you initiated your
backups from the catalog database and trying to restore from target database,
you will have to use DSMO_NODE=csifiws8064 environment variable to query the
backups done from csifiws8064 machine.  Don't forget to generate the password
file ADSMO.csifiws8064 on your target node.
