Because being inside the GUI during the operation does not expose you
to shell expansions...
Whenever you see a wildcard, such as an asterisk, consider the effects
that ensue by leaving it exposed to the shell, where the shell will do
the expansion (or try to).  Keep in mind that in Restore and Query Backup
operations, that the "from" spec may be satisfied by fully resolved file
system object names (as shell expansion will provide) or by wildcards to
TSM, where it will look in its own filespace storage rather than the
file system.  This is particularly important to realize when the object
set you want to operate upon does not (yet) exist in the file system.
