sbread backup date on rmt1 does not match previous volumes.

Question:

Env:
  AIX 4.2.1
  RISC 590
  Tape 4mm 4gb 7332 and 8mm 7gb 7331
  Sysback 4.2.1.9

Problem:
  Customer created a virtual device ( parallel device ) 
  which included:  rmt0, rmt1 

  He is able to create the backup without any errors, but cannot
  verify or restore the data within smit, he gets the following 
  error message:

  sbread backup date on rmt1 does not match previous volumes.
  unable to read table of contents on vdev2.

Action Taken:
  The customer can however restore and verify the data from the
  command line using this command:
  sysrestore -Vxf vdev2 -tV vg0 
  sysrestore -xf vdev2 -tD /home

  But the same kind of restore within smit will fail with the 
  above error message.  

WORKAROUND:
  This is a defect in the /usr/sbin/sysrestore command.
  This problem will only exist within smit.
  The customer should be able to verify and restore
  data from the command line using the sysretore command.
  This will be fixed with sysback.rte 4.2.1.10
