I thought exactly as Lars did - until I actually tried it.

I discovered that the VOLSET option DOES select ONLY files that are
supposed to live on the specified set.

Demonstration follows:

:dstat all

As you can see, the attempt to restore files that reside on the system
volume set to the user01 volume set fails with the above error messages.

I can similarily demonstrate that:

:restore *t;@[log in to unmask]@;......;create;volset=user1

will only restore the appropriate files to their appropriate volume set.

Clearly there will be lots of error messages. However, if one does not know
exactly which groups/accounts belong to a specified volume set, this option
is a workable one.
