I'm afraid that didn't work.  It just keeps on asking for the next
volume.

What I'm confused about is that doing a "restore -i" or "restore -t" and
I seem to be able to find the file just fine.  But when I do a "restore
-x" (or an "add" inside "restore -i") it always responds with "bad name
to addentry ./bcwhite/longtmp".  I've highlighted the relevant bits
below.

I'm sure I'm just overlooking something stupid.  Do you have to be on
the machine from which the dump was originally done?  If so do you have
to restore that one file back to where it was originally read from?

Argh.
