Sounds like the web servers have TD ACD access (POSIX "x") but lack RD ACD
access (POSIX "r") to the directories in question.

Are you using any non-system volumesets, i.e. sets other than
MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET?

Note that ;DIRECTORY without ;ONVS *only* applies to directories on MPEXL_etc.
If you have additional volume sets, your :STORE parms above aren't backing up
the additional directories.  So you really want ONVS=MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET,
USER_SET1,USER_SET2,USER_SET3[,...];DIRECTORY.

If you still have the output from this :RESTORE, were the POSIX directories
listed at the very beginning?
