Don't ask, don't tell.  :-)

Do you also have problems sending dumps to IBM?    

This isn't an answer, but when IBM asks for control you can allow for
"shared view" instead of  "shared control".  That means you have to do
all the typing for them, but I would think that would alleviate any 
security concerns. 

Other than that, I guess you just have to try and use common sense 
(which I know is hard with auditors) to convince them of the benefits
of "return to service" by letting IBM have this sort of access in an
outage situation or after an outage.
