Here's the situation:
NetBackup 3.4 running on Solaris 8 Sun Sparc hardware.
We've got a WAN.  server1 is the master, server1 and server2 are both
media servers, and client1 uses server2's robot for backups.

I have a user archive specified for client1 so that a group of our audio
guys can save their work whenever they finish it.  They all need access to
restore these files -- anyone can be called upon to re-edit an audio file,
even if someone else originally edited it.

So, they're archiving files from home dirs:
/home/user1/OUT/*
/home/user2/OUT/*
etc.

I tested this by creating a bunch of files in my homedir/OUT and running
archive.  No problems.  I can run bplist as myself and see the files that
I backed up.

Now, I'm trying to get one of the other users to restore.  However, when I
try bplist, I get "No entity was found".  When I try bprestore, I likewise
get "No entity was found".  The command I'm using is:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bplist -A -R -PI xaa
xaa is one of the files I backed up.  I have tried other commands that
work for my username, but they do not work for his (like -R OUT/*).
Obviously, I can't bprestore if I can't even see the files in bplist.

I have tried running bp as that user, and I can see the image under "list
images", but I can't get a filelist from it.

Is there something having to do with user permissions (since my username
backed it up, and it was a user archive, the other users can't see it)?
If so, is there a way around this, because they work as a group and need
access to all of the files that each of them individually archives.

Thanks much,
-Adam
