- Where the filespace name within a directory path is ambiguous, you
can enclose it in braces to make it clear to TSM.

- Rather than attempting the Restore command right off the bat,
utilize Query Backup first as a "restoral simulator" to test that
it's going at the right thing and will return the desired data.

- VIRTUALMountpoint belongs in dsm.sys, not dsm.opt; and it is
meaningful for restoral only after at least one backup had been done,
to establish that separate filespace.  (You don't want to use
VIRTUALMountpoint without a compelling reason.)
