Restoring from a mksysb

Hello All,
I am trying to restore a directory and all it's contents from a mksysb. I
am using the -T option to display the contents before I do the restore. The
command I am using is as follows:

restore -s4 -Tvdf /dev/rmt0.1 ./home/commt

When it displays the output it indicates that it would restore everything in
/home /var etc. I tried it without using the dot in front of the /home and
got the same results. I thought I had restored directories before using
this command without any problems. Is there something I am missing. The
system is an RS/6000 F40 running AIX 4.3.3 ML8. Your help/suggestions will
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
