Thank you all for your help, I messed up on the securities, the error
message should have been that we have not got permission to get to that
dir/restore that file (that's NT for you). We have logged in to the server
using a different account and all is working at last........

message returned !)

                Before you try the retrieve, make sure that you have
                the filesystems mounted the same way that they were
                mounted when you did the archive.  ADSM uses what it
                calls the "current mount directory" to help keep track
                of where files came from.  If your filesystems are
                mounted differently when you try the restore, then
                ADSM doesn't look in the same place for the files.
                You might issue the "query archive" command and see
                the files listed, but if you issue the "retrieve"
                command for one of the files returned from the query,
                ADSM cannot find it because it is looking for the file
                down the path that you currently have mounted, not the
                path that was mounted when the archive was done.
