From the restore reference page:
-s The argument that follows this modifier flag is used as the
number (1 is the origin) of the file to restore. This flag is
used to write more than one dump file from the tape.
In your restore command, if you want to restore files from /usr, you need to
specify "-s 2" to get into the /usr saveset. In the first saveset, /usr is
an empty directory, not the /usr partition.
