FOR EXPERTS!! How to restore controlfile from tape using TSM??

Question

Hi ,
I have a backup of my database (controlfiles, datafiles and archives) on tapes (TSM).
I'm doing some tests and i delete all my controlfiles.
Now i'm trying to restore the control file using the following:
RMAN>set DBID=1489198124;
RMAN>run{
allocate channel t1 device type sbt_tape parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_capdb15p.opt)';
restore controlfile from autobackup;
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 05/10/2007 16:25:30
RMAN-06172: no autobackup found or specified handle is not a valid copy or piece
The autobackup is OFF now (i will put this ON later and become a production enviroment).
How can i get the controlfile backup from tape. I have this backup on tape made by RMAN using TIVOLI STORAGE MANAGER.
Tks,
Paulo.

This is the command:
run {
allocate channel t1 device type sbt_tape parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_capdb15p.opt)';
backup current controlfile;
This is my backups!!!
RMAN> list backup of controlfile;
