The syntax I use for a restore is the following (within a perl script),
and using sendmail.

system("find $line -name 'q*'| xargs grep -w $username | awk -F :
'{print $1}' | sort -u | sed 's/\\/qf/\\/?f/' > /tmp/queuefiles");

This gives me a list of the queuefile names, which I read within another
loop in the script and submit to the queue.
