Not to worry.

It looks like your backup contains all it needs to be able to recover 
your system.

HP's advice to you about first restoring the directory ASSUMED your 
backup was done using the HP STORE command - which of course it was not.

Your backup employed the 3rd-party backup software from Orbit, so 
your restore procedures need to reflect that.

I don't have the orbit backup manual at hand, but I think your first 
step would be to restore the Orbit backup/restore program 
(BACKUPPL.PUB.ORBIT or BACKUPPL.PUB.SYS?) from the full backup tape 
you had created with the BACKUPPL program.

Please check the manual or contact Orbit.

After that, you simply run BACKUPPL, apply the appropriate commands 
and you'll be good to go.
