As helpful as Mark's wonderfully detailed e-mail might I add the following.
For a while now you have been able to issue the export node with options that let you export and import all in one step provided you have a server. The help text may have these same details but I really like the way it is layed out in the TSM admin reference (not Admin guide) found at (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/IBMTivoliStorageManagerforWindows5.2.2.html). Search for export and find the section labeled "Export Node - Directly to another server". The key is to use the "ToServer" option. Here is a copy from the manual about that option: TOServer Specifies the name of a server to which the export data will be sent directly over the network for immediate import. Note: The target server must be defined on the originating server with the DEFINE SERVER command. The administrator that issues the export command must be defined with the same administrator name and password and have system authority on the target server.
