You must include the CREATE=CREATOR to insure that ALL files are restored!
Otherwise the restore will not restore files for which the creator has been
purged. <rant> This is a SERIOUS security BUG as CREATE=CREATOR  will
resurrect old users on the system without any PASSWORDS! </rant> This is why
most of you have a MGR and USER user in the SYS account!
