Question:

Env:
  AIX 4.1.4
  RISC J30
  sysback 4.1.1.0

Problem:
  Customer is having problems doing a remote verify

  smitty sysback

  1800-106 An error occurred:  
                                          
                          
    sbdevice: Cannot open /dev/rmt0 
    sbdevice: No such file or directory        
    Unable to read volume label from device /dev/rmt0.1.  

This does works for a local tape drive within smit, but fails when dealing
with a remote tape drive.

Also this command works locally, but failes with a remote tape drive
sysrestore -V -f /dev/rmt0 -tVolume_Group -v rootvg  (works)

Failes when run remotely
-------------------------

sysrestore -V -f /dev/rmt0 -h modj30 -tVolume_Group -v rootvg
