Sorry, that should definitely not happen. Is your server using version 
0.10 as well? Could you enable ExtendedLogging on the client and report 
the log messages from the syslog on the client? What happens if you do the 
restore using bbackupquery interactively? Could you show us the exact 
command line that you used?

I think that getobject downloads the encrypted copy of the file from the 
server, which will probably not help you much.

Cheers, Chris.
