Zoltan, I am sorry your "SQL guy" is having trouble. When restoring to an alternate server with alternate locations, you need to specify each piece that you are restoring, including all logical and physical pieces involved in the backup... this is a SQL Server requirement.
If the IBM KB article cannot help you, can you please call IBM support? They can walk you through this.
