To test FSCTL_RECALL_FILE, see the client application available at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364587(VS.85).aspx

With the patches applied on the server side, ensure fs_capabilities
returns FILE_SUPPORTS_REMOTE_STORAGE.

The SMB_VFS_OP_RECALL_OFFLINE handler will then be called when the server
receives a FSCTL_RECALL_FILE nttrans and the file is flagged as offline.

If you wan't to test it with a DMAPI based HSM i'd recommend having a
play with sample_hsm found in the XFS cmds tree.
