Any chance the filesystem that they are trying to restore to no longer exists on the client side?

Is this a restore to the same machine or a different machine; if different, are the OSes the same?

I can see the file in the DB and by "dsmc -virualnodename q ba". It's an AIX 4.3.3 box with TSM 5.1.1.0. All attempts to restore end in either, "NO objects found", "Destination space unavailable', or "Invalid destination file spec". I can't see what he's doing wrong.
