Thanks for your reply Arno...
*If* it is a bug, it has crept in between 1.36.2 and 1.38.9 releases. I just
confirmed that the restore goes fine (ie. both tests work as expected) on a
1.36.2 install. Taking the exact same config files (provided), a 1.38.9
release
fails with the same message provided in my first email.
Cheers,
Ben
