I had this happen on my AIX server.
Not sure where the options are at in Win2k but you need to put sessions to
zero
and backups to none.
Its kind of like booting tsm up in safe mode

Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious, but you created the file with a
different name:

  D:\tsmdata\server1\extrareclogspace

whereas the server looks for it in the directory from which you started
the dsmserv command:

 > ANR9969E Unable to open volume C:\PROGRAM
FILES\TIVOLI\TSM\SERVER1\EXTRAREECLOGSPACE.

Apart from the extra "E" in the filename, this is a different directory.
