<br>Any ideas what is going wrong?<br></blockquote></div><br>I'd say you've found a bug. =:( There's only 2 things I can think of that might be causing this... <br><br><ol><li>It might be the space in the directory name that's causing something to go wonky. Unfortunately, that's not an easy one to try to test.</li>
<li>It might be that the file exists, but isn't a valid palm resource. To test this, can you do "pilot-file --dump <filename>" on one of the failed-to-restore files? And just to be clear... do _any_ of your palm backup files get restored? Or none of them do?<br>
