We have several jobs running for different file stores: 
 
 - data
 - home
 - ldap

and so on. For most jobs we did a restore test and it is always possible to 
select files which should be restored.
Only problem is when restoring from the home backup job which is also the 
biggest one:

>> 2000 OK estimate files=308464 bytes=16,829,731,0

The selection of files is not possible from this one.

> *list files jobid=168
> No results to list.
>+-------+------------------+---------------------+------+-------+----------+----------------+-----------+
>| jobid | name             | starttime           | type | level | jobfiles | 
>jobbytes       | jobstatus |
>+-------+------------------+---------------------+------+-------+----------+----------------+-----------+
>|   168 | amun-backup_home | 2008-04-21 14:38:01 | B    | F     |  308,384 | 
>16,824,566,086 | T         |
>+-------+------------------+---------------------+------+-------+----------+----------------+-----------+

with running the restore in bconsole I get the message:

>"There were no files inserted into the tree, so file selection
>is not possible.Most likely your retention policy pruned the files
>Do you want to restore all the files? (yes|no):"

When running the job in Differential Mode it is possible to restore files

> *list files jobid=118  
> ...filelist
