This looks fine to me. The client does not need to exist to restore files
backed up for the Client. However, the client you specify below must exist.

I'd like to see the output where it asks you to run the job to make sure you
pointed it to the correct bootstrap file (i.e. the one you wrote).

Perhaps, or perhaps it was recycled and overwritten.
Run in bconsole:
query
17
Tape2
See if JobId=50 is in the list it prints. If not, there is some problem with
the Volume name. According to the output, the job is not purged, so it
should be OK.

When you first select Client in the restore command, it determines what
client/jobs we are talking about to find the files.
At the Run Job prompt, it says where the files are going to be sent to be
restored.
In your case, it determines where the files will be stored, but for the moment
none are found.

That is implicit (in your case) in the bsr file.
If all the above fails, do a bls of the volume. Unfortunately, version 1.36.2
bls doesn't supply all the info that is needed, but you could try it anyway
to see if your files are there. If they are and you *really* want to recover
them, load version 1.38.2 somewhere and build it. No need to install it,
then copy the 1.38.2 bls into your install directory and run it. It will
give you all the VolSessionId/Time info and FileIndex info that you need to
pull one or more files.
The end of the Restore chapter in the current manual gives some nice examples.
