Can't verify a logical volume backup

Question:

Env:  
   AIX 3.2.5 (both server and client systems)
   RISC 590 (server)  320 (client)
   sysback 3.3.1.4 (server)  sysback 3.3.1.6 (client)

Desc:
  Create a logical volume backup of hd3 over the network
  to the directory /usr/sys/inst.images from the client to
   the sever.

   Tried to verify the backup in smit
    smitty sysback
      Backup & Restore Options
        Logical Volumes
           Verify a Logical Volume Backup

        The COMMAND being run was:
 lvrestore -l -x -f /usr/sys/inst.images/marsL.01071754 -hmod590

Error received is:
  You are restoring data from a logical volume backup of hd3.
  You must select the FORCE (-F) option to restore data to a different
  logical volme (
  Invalid argument index

This was also tested on a local system as well.  
The same problem errors occurred as well.

Action:

  Bug with sysback 3.3

WORKAROUND: this is not a problem with the backup. To
            verify, use the lvrestore command and specify the
            logical volume name at the end of the command.

Sending sysback 3.3.1.7 to correct the problem

Next Action:
  Closing with customer approval
