Iain, To which document do you refer? I am operating under the impression that we are talking about the field guide "Tivoli Storage Manager Recovery Techniques Using Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE)" available at http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27005204.
It is not our policy to attribute our own names to the work of others. I can assure you that the document was authored by the folks at IBM who are credited on the document's title page. The email address I found for sending feedback re: field guides is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've sent off a test email to it (hasn't bounced yet), and from my own lookup, it appears valid. Again, specifics about the troubles you are having would be helpful, else there's not much I or anyone else can do.

The command line is your friend. "Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
