Turns out after talking to the tech who did the restore, the the tech that built the new 2K3 server and filesystems had created a skeleton directory structure on the G: drive with the incorrect permissions. The tech that did the restore figured it was a clean filesystem and didn't replace them.
So, they shot themselves in the foot! But until I could PROVE that, it was TSM's fault!

Was the NT server upgraded to W2K3? Or was the data moved from one machine to another? If so, there may be a SID issue because you're laying down files on a different system. At any rate, there are documented MS caveats for copying files across filesystems; if you do so you generally lose the original ACLs and get new ones based upon the user that is doing the copying. So perhaps the new permissions on the W2K3 system are the same as the Administrator perms, or whoever the TSM client runs as.

The NT data was backed up using a 5.1.6 client version to a TSM 5.1.6 server on AIX 5.1. The Windows2003 server restore was done using a 5.2.0.1 client. After the restore they saw that the original security permissions on the directories were not correct. They tell me that the NT server and Windows2003 server are in the same domain. On some of the directories, the user/groups were there, but the administrator wasn't, and on others the administrator was there but the user/group permissions weren't restored. Are there "issues" restoring across Window versions like this?? Bill Boyer "Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield." - ??
