Hi Bob, That feature could be useful, and with any luck one of the TSM development people may see this posting!
On a side note to Jim's response, his method is a good idea and will work as long as the files are moved across NTFS partitions. In other words, when you restore the "new" directories, do so on a separate NTFS partition from the original so that when you move the files into the new directories, the ACLs will be reset. They are NOT reset if you copy a file from one directory to another within the same NTFS partition, thus defeating your purpose. This is standard NTFS behavior.

Then restoring the directories in question using the dirsonly option, and then copying the files back into newly restored directories from the renamed directories.
