I'm trying to do a multi-session restore on a client that has
several fileystems that were backed up with VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT. The
root filesystem was never backed up on this client.  For example

Filespaces
/foo/bar/a

dsmc restore "/foo/*" -subdir=yes

That restore does not work.  It gives me -
ANS1247I Waiting for files from the server...
ANS1302E No objects on server match query
...

Think it through...  "/foo/*" is expanded by the TSM client to "/foo/
bar", which is not of sufficient path length to have participated in
the backups.  And remember to put a / at the end of a filespec to TSM
for it to be regarded as a directory.  And test your operation's
veracity via 'dsmc q backup' first.  So, try:  dsmc q ba "/foo/bar/*/"
-subdir=yes
