I downloaded the ptfI.tar file from index.storsys.ibm.com, installed it,
and... had exactly the same problems as others had reported; namely after a
creation of a directory structure that looked like

     drwxr-xr-x   3 root     system       512 May 28 16:24 .
     drwxr-xr-x  17 bin      bin          512 May 28 16:24 ..
     drwxr-xr-x   2 root     system       512 May 28 16:24 d1
     -rw-r--r--   1 root     system         1 May 28 16:24 f1
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     system         2 May 28 16:24 linktod1 -> d1
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     system         2 May 28 16:24 linktof1 -> f1
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     system        10 May 28 16:24 nothing ->
linktonull

and it's succesful backup, a restore leads to

     drwxr-xr-x   3 root     system       512 May 28 16:24 .
     drwxr-xr-x  17 bin      bin          512 May 28 16:24 ..
     drwxr-xr-x   2 root     system       512 May 28 16:24 d1
     -rw-r--r--   1 root     system       451 May 28 16:24 f1
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     system         0 May 28 16:24 linktod1 ->
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     system         0 May 28 16:24 linktof1 ->
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     system         0 May 28 16:24 nothing ->

Peter,

I just got word today that there are new client images with a fix for this
bug on index.storsys.ibm.com in the adsm/fixtest/v2r1/aix directories.

I haven't had a chance to install and test them yet, but thought you might
like to know. Good luck. :-)
