I ran into this a few weeks ago.  I had to format the log and DB
volumes before the restore would work.  Something like:

dsmserv format numberoflogfiles logfilenames numberofdbvolumes
dbvolnames

ie

dsmserv format 1 /adsmlog/log1 1 /adsmdb/db1

        You only need to do the prime volumes, not the mirrors.  Once it
formats, run the restore command again.  See this page for reference:

Subject: Cannot restore Database


Hello Group,

         I'm trying to restore a TSM database to a disaster recovery
copy of one of our remote TSM servers without success. I installed TSM
onto the DR box, copied the DEVCFG.OUT and VOLHIST.OUT files into the
directory where the new server was built. When I try to restore the
database I get the following error. Any idea where I am going wrong?
