I may have to hold off on that for the moment.  I just discovered that the tsafs file on the system I am restoring to, does not have the same md5sum as those on the other servers (source of file).  Interesting that, as the novell-sms-blah.rpm is the same on all the servers.

I am tempted to simply copy that file over, restart and see what happens.  But prudence dictates I look deeper.
