DSPTAP *SAVRST on library continued to multiple tapes

I thought I knew how to do this, but it's driving me crazy today.

We have an eight-tape save set from a GO SAVE option 21.  The tapes are
loaded into a 3590e cassette.  I'm trying to restore a file from a library
that turns out to be sequence #50 -- the last library on the first tape,
continued to tapes 2, 3, 4, and 5.  Individual DSPTAP DATA(*LABELS) show
that I have the tapes in the correct order.  I can't get a RSTOBJ or DSPTAP
DATA(*SAVRST) to cross from tape 1 to tape 2.  DSPTAP DATA(*SAVRST) will end
on the first tape.  As expected, if I restart the command on the next tape I
get a "file is continued from previous volume".

What am I missing?
