Beginning with PTF level 0.3 on the client we are now following the XPG/4
X/OPEN standard for NLS which includes the date and time format.  The
locale you are using only supports 2 digits for the year and you have
specified 4 digits on the year.  Try using

restore -subdir=yes -ina -pick -fromd=08/13/96

This should work.  If you need to use 4 digit years I am working on an
informational APAR that explains how to modify your locale.
