It sure seems to me like your command should work (notice that if you omit the *, you don't need the quotes)::
dsmc restore /filesystem/directory/ /restorefs/ -subdir=yes -tapeprompt=no -fromn=XX After you issue this, run QUERY SESSION from the Admin interface.... what does it show for this node's session(s)? If it is in a "run" state, then everything should be good.... just give a little time.
