Sergio - Did you also select "Authorization type" to be Backup in the
         source system?  Also use the GUI or 'dsmc q access' on the source
system to check the settings.
    If you're dealing with root on the two AIX systems, it makes more sense
to follow the manual's description of "Restore or Retrieve Files to
Another Workstation", which avoids all the authorization complexities.
