Thanks. Yes, we thought of this, but the long file name that is the problem was
unable to be created on the NetWare server. Our NetWare guy played with this for
awhile. At this point we're not real sure how the file got backed up but it is still
causing us a problem.
At this time we are running a restore of the particular directory specifically
including the files we want restored and leaving out the bad file name. Fortunately, a
large number of files were restored there before it hit the problem. Then we hope to
run an incremental backup against the directory to force TSM to mark the bad file as
inactive. Then we will rerun the general restore which should not try to restore the
inactive file again.
For your information, Tivoli did not have any hits on this problem. They liked our
idea for restore-backup-restore. They suggested upgrading the NetWare client as a
next attempt and if that did not work to trace the problem for them to diagnose
further.
Thanks for the suggestions I have received on this problem.

I would have to look into that, but for now a quick workaround is to
create a file with the exact name of the file you do not want restored in
the directory where that file lives, and then have TSM clinet not
overwrite existing files. Durring the prepar phase, this file will be
disqualifed for restore operations, and thus skiped.
