Error description

• During a client restore operation, the permissions of the
  filesystem mount point directories may not be restored properly.
  For example, /mnt/data is the name of the filesystem to be
  restored:
  
     Filesystem    Size  Used  Avail  Use%   Mounted on
     /dev/data     3.0G   69M   2.8G    3%   /mnt/data
  
  The output from a SELECT statement issued against the Tivoli
  Storage Manager server confirms that the /mnt/data mount point
  directory exists and is owned by the 'tsminst1' user:
  
           NODE_NAME: CLIENTA
      FILESPACE_NAME: /mnt/data
        FILESPACE_ID: 25
               STATE: ACTIVE_VERSION
                TYPE: DIR
             HL_NAME: /
             LL_NAME:
           OBJECT_ID: 99999999
         BACKUP_DATE: 2014-02-02 11:02:26.000000
     DEACTIVATE_DATE:
               OWNER: tsminst1
          CLASS_NAME: DEFAULT
  
  A restore operation performed against the /mnt/data filesystem
  appears to show that the mount point directory is successfully
  restored:
  
     # dsmc restore /mnt/data/ -subdir=yes -replace=yes
  
     ANS1247I Waiting for files from the server...

     Elapsed processing time:               00:00:10
  
  However, the permissions (owner/group) of the /mnt/data mount
  point directory are not properly restored as expected:
  
     #ls -lrtd /mnt/data
     drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec  2 11:58 /mnt/data
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
  Client versions 6.2.5, 6.3.1, 6.4.0, 7.1.0 and newer
