Your command should work, but ....

I would restore the directory first and separately, as in:

:restore *t;;directory;show

Then, check it out using

:REPORT n.@;onvs=APPLn

I would also add ;create;partialdb to your restore command and use the
posix syntax to ensure all your posix structures get restored - so, the 2nd
restore should look as follows:

RESTORE *T;/ - /SYS/PUB/LOG####;olddate;keep;show=offline;create;partialdb

Now, of all of this assumes that you will have first re-created your user
volume environment  using VOLUTIL and the appropriate NEWSET and NEWVOL
commands therein. (You did say you were replacing ALL of your drives,
didn't you?)
