I am going to call this a bug, since reading the new PDF docs (from https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQVQ_8.1.9/client/b_ba_guide_win.pdf?view=kc ) says this about the old style passwords:
*When you upgrade to the IBM Spectrum Protect V8.1.2 or later client from an earlier client that uses theold password locations, the existing passwords are migrated to the following files in the new passwordstore:* Does anyone know the dsmcutil command line it is using so I can work around this issue?
