Again, I urge reading the Technical Guide redbook to fully understand
TSM functions before trying to use them.  It's particularly important
to do so because the command reference manual ends up getting just a
fraction of the information presented in the TG - often omitting
important facts, such as:

  "The volumes added to this list have to have an access of READWRITE or
   READONLY."

That obviously precludes Access=Offsite.  And wouldn't it be nice if the
programmers put out some kind of message when the function ends up copying
none of the data that the customer requested?  (Come on, IBM - that's not
"enterprise" level programming.)
