I don't know what such an image looks like that is downloadable from "Partnerworld". Installable images are marked by a ".I" after copying the LPPs with gencopy to an installation directory opposed to Single Updates that are marked by a ".U". Don't work with .bff files.
Furthermore the error message itself could be misleading also. Installp complains quite often about a certain fileset being necessary as a prerequisite and one is tempted to believe that only the very fileset mentioned will be accepted. Fortunately in most cases the name of the fileset is true while the VRMF is not. In your case I think there is a good chance that any bos.rte.filesystems 5.3.0.x.I would work. You don't need to offer an installable image at TL9. So you might try this:
Copy the (=any) base level LPP bos.rte.filesystem (5.3.0.x.x.
I) to a filesystem, together with the latest update of the very same LPP plus any coreqs. Create a new table of contents. To do this you need to delete the .toc file if it exists as otherwise it is just updated which often leads to failures. So what you do from the directory where you prepared the LPPs for installation is:
# rm .toc
# inutoc .
Then try to force the overwrite again.
