MSGCPF3722/CPF3722...but why?

["Metz, Zak" <Zak_Metz@xxxxxx>]

I have a client receiving CPF3722 while restoring some objects I
provided. I'm confused, though, as to why they are getting the message.
The text of the message follows:
 
Message . . . . :   Older version of &1 type &2 in &3 restored.
Cause . . . . . :   The version restored is older than the VOL(*SAVVOL)
version of the object.  If the RSTLIB and SAVLIB values are not equal,
the  
  save history is lost.  Otherwise, the version restored is not the
VOL(*SAVVOL) version and the records of the newer versions are lost.
Recovery  . . . :   See the CL Reference topic in the Information Center
book,
  http://www.as400.ibm.com/infocenter. To restore the former
VOL(*SAVVOL)     
  version, specify RSTOBJ OBJ(&1) SAVLIB(&3) DEV(&6) OBJTYPE(*&2)
VOL(&4)     
  LABEL(&7).  Specify SAVDATE and SAVTIME as &5.
The creation date of the object being restored is more recent than that
of the existing object (restoring 7/16/03 over 4/23/03...these dates
have been double-checked). Am I looking at the wrong date, is this an
invalid message, is it referring to a different date, or am I
hallucinating the whole thing? This is v5r1, unknown PTF level, and I'm
unable to reproduce it in-house. Any insight is appreciated!
