ANSWER:

from Brian Sheehan sheehan_at_scripps.edu:

use sh instead of ksh or csh to perform the restore:
  % sh
  $ mt -f /dev/rmt0h rewind
  $ cpio -ivmudc -C 32768 -I /dev/rmt0h /res1/cphsu/mlk183*
  $ exit
  %

This worked. No other replies were received. Thanks Brian.


ORIGINAL QUESTION:

I am using DU 3.2C on a DEC Alpha 3000 model 400 and as root ksh created a
cpio save set on tape using the following commands:
  mt -f /dev/rmt0h rewind
  ulimit -f unlimited
  umask 027
  find / -print | cpio -oc -C 32768 -O /dev/rmt0h
  mt -f /dev/rmt0h rewind

I am able to list the tape as root ksh using the following commands:
  mt -f /dev/rmt0h rewind
  cpio -itvc -C 32768 -I /dev/rmt0h >twr.scr 2>&1

I can search twr.scr and find the 60+ files I am trying to restore.

As root ksh, when I use either of the following commands, they restore only
the directory and none of the files:
  mt -f /dev/rmt0h rewind
  cpio -ivmudc -C 32768 -I /dev/rmt0h /res1/cphsu/mlk183\*
  mt -f /dev/rmt0h rewind
  cpio -ivmudc -C 32768 -I /dev/rmt0h "/res1/cphsu/mlk183*"
