Unable to drill into /dev/vx/dsk/ Veritas Volume with Restore Command

I perform directive restores through an ssh putty session to our Networker Server using the "recover" command. I'm trying to restore a file from within the /dev/vx/dsk/library/libraries saveset for a client server. The problem is that once I navigate to the final /libraries in the saveset path that I'm unable to drill down any further into the directory to select individual files. I realise that /dev/vx/dsk/library/libraries is a Veritas volume. Is there a way for the recover command to drill into this to restore individual files?


The recover command syntax below is a syntax that is fully tested. This is what I see when trying to restore:


$ recover -s NETWORKERSERVER -c CLIENTSERVER -R CLIENTSERVER -iY -t 1197925050 -d /dev/vx/dsk/library/dbase/restore "/library"
/library: No such file or directory
recover: Unable to set remote directory to /library
recover: No index was found for /library. The current working directory is /.
recover> ls
dev
recover> cd dev
recover> ls
vx
recover> cd vx
recover> ls
dsk
recover> cd dsk
recover> ls
library
recover> cd librarydg
recover> ls
libraries
recover> cd libraries
libraries is not a directory
recover>


I'm far from a UNIX guru and would appreciate any suggestions or clarification.
