Thanks Bill. According to the fine manual:

"And finally, if you feel that specifying a Volume name is a bit 
complicated with a bootstrap file, you can use the *-V* option (on all 
programs except *bcopy*) to specify one or more Volume names separated 
by the vertical bar (|). For example,

./bls -V Vol001 /dev/nst0

You may also specify an asterisk (*) to indicate that the program should 
accept any volume. For example:

./bls -V* /dev/nst0"


I guess that is not quite accurate. You're right that it does seem to be 
taking the actual volume names. When I ran it against a single volume, 
it restored some files, so I created a .bsr file and it's doing the full 
restore.

Again, Thanks.
