It's possible for a user to filter rights to a file from the backup/restore
user.

The Novell admin should look at the rights of the directory above the file
giving the error and the inheritance filter.

Also, if directory size limits have been established, it could be that the file
exceeds that limit. I know that with compression enabled on the volume, the
directory quotas can be ambiguous. The compressed size goes against the quota,
but if the file is read several times it is stored uncompressed and can cause a
directory to go over quota. ADSM (or the TSA) backs up files in the format they
are in on the volume, compressed or not, and restores them in like manner. If
the file is uncompressed by usage the directory will go over quota without
error, but the restore will fail.
