Hi Doug, I'm not sure why you are seeing what you are seeing. It should work.
Try running "dsmc -nod=ct100". Once you are in the TSM command prompt, do a QUERY SESSION to make sure the node name in session is indeed CT100. Next, do a "q fi" command to see if the \\ct120 shares show up. If they do, try "q ba \\ct120\ -su=y" to see if *any* files show up. What version of the client was used to back up the \\ct120 files? Was it a later version than 5.2?
