I'm glad it worked out for you. The "-virtualnode" option is good if you want to gain FULL access to a specified remote node. Your basically tricking TSM into thinking you are that node so there are NO access restrictions to anything. In an access controlled environment however "set access" is your best option. Thanks!.

I don't have problems in setting access . in my last command date format was wrong. 2-1-2003 won't work - It requires 02-01-2003 . also added quotes .

Also try to put double quotes around any path specifications with wildcards.
