It turned out that the windows 2000 client had NetWorker version 6.1.2
installed prior to the disaster. The server runs 6.0.1, and apparently
the uasm program from 6.1.2 creates savesets that the 6.0.1 uasm program
cannot decipher. I installed 6.1.2 on the client and now I can recover
my savesets just fine.

Thanks to all that responded.
