As you realized, you are restoring 4 unque datasets with the same DSN. The problem is that the restore is cataloging each of these datasets which causes the second to fail. You need to specify nocatalog (I'm guessing because it's been too long). Also beware that you may have the system option to delete uncataloged datasets, so you might need to use an alternative method. Once you restore each uncataloged dataset, you will need to define the dataset with the correct volume sequence.
As an alternative, you can restore each volume as a unique DSN and use DD concatenation in the correct sequence. Since you don't have the catalog information, it's anyones guess as to the sequence.
