SUMMARY: Solstice Backup (Legato) restore to new client...

Thanks to Valeriy who wrote:

"Although you copied indexes, there are no records regarding this new
client in media database, this is why you have "Unknown" status.
You might try to do the following
start nwadmin, go to Clients -> Clients Setup -> jabbar
add root@jabbarclone and root@jabbarclone.yourdomain.com to Remote Access
start nwrecover on jabbarclone, go to Change -> Client, click on "Update
   Client List", select "jabbar", select files you want to restore. It
should work."

This was a much easier solution to the rigamarole I was attempting.  The
restore is chugging along fine.
My original question follows:
