Hi *SMers,
   I hope someone out there can give me some hints on the following
problem.

Basics:
1.      About 20000 users, having their $HOME in AFS, are backuped by a 
        TSM-AIX-AFS-client (dsmcafs, 3.7.2) onto a TSM-AIX-server (3.7.3)
2.      Each user is backed up seperately having its own filespace by
        means of a 
                VIRTUALMountpoint       ${USER_DIR}
        in "dsm.sys"
3.      This backup of the above users is done on the SERVER-machine
        using 
                COMMMethod              SHAREDmem
        and processing the 20000 users in 4 parallel streams
        (having checked wether the've been active during the last 3 days)
        lasting about 2 hours per stream
4.      The AFS-Servers are running on HP-UX 10.20 machines
        The TSM-Server runs on an IBM H70 under AIX 4.3.3

Problem:
1.      Trying to do a RESTORE with a TSM-AIX-AFS-client (dsmafs, 3.7.2)
        on the VERY SAME server-machine has an undetermined behaviour:
        - I see ALL  files of a user "user_A" as "user_A" 
        - I see SOME files of a user "user_B" as "user_B"
        - I see NONE files of a user "user_C" as "user_C"
        - I see ALL  files of a user "user_*" as "root"
        
2.      The "failing" is in such a way, that the GUI says
                "0 Objects" 
        or e.g. "2 Objects"     instead of "21 Objects"

3.      Doing the RESTORE on another AIX-machine than the server-machine
        as "user_*" results in the SAME behaviour as given in "Problem.1"

Further Info:                   
1.      The first line in the "dsm.opt"-file is:
                SERvername      RZAFSREST 
        and the
        corresponding "dsm.sys" contains a stanza for the "RZAFSREST"
        having a line
                Nodename        TSM_SERVER
        AND the file    
                /etc/security/adsm/RZAFSREST
        has been created by running
                dsmc q sched -server=RZAFSREST
        giving the resp. "SERVER_PASSWORD" at the prompt.

2.      The actual calling (see following script) is done via:
                dsmafs \ 
-optfile=/afs/tu-bs.de/appl/tsm/pro/bin/dsm.opt.rzafs

3.      The sample script "mydsm" ( reduced to "bare-bones" ) for running
        the GUI (for sake of "afs" or "mail" restores ) is as follows
        (BTW. mail-restores have none of the above mentioned problems):
        
#!/bin/ksh
os=`/bin/uname`
case $os in
        HP-UX)  SM_CMD=/usr/adsm/dsm;;
        AIX)    SM_CMD=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmafs;;
esac
afs_mail=$1
case $afs_mail in
afs)
        # AFS-Restore-case
        export USER_DIR=$HOME
        opt_file=/afs/tu-bs.de/appl/tsm/pro/bin/dsm.opt.rzafsrest
        ;;
mail)
        # MAIL-Restore-case
        srv=`echo $MAILSERVER | /bin/cut -d. -f1`
        export USER_DIR=/dsk/$srv\.mail/`echo $MAIL | /bin/cut -d\/ -f4-`
        opt_file=/afs/tu-bs.de/appl/tsm/pro/bin/dsm.opt.$srv
        ;;
esac    
echo 'USER_DIR='$USER_DIR
echo 'opt_file='$opt_file
$SM_CMD -optfile=$opt_file

With some hope for replies,
