my fault. I had only tried to resume the restore (-r option). When
I removed the directory and the resume info everything was restored
correctly and I also see the lstat64 in the trace now.

BTW I have written an article about BoxBackup. It's in German and it was
published in March on our site:
http://www.pro-linux.de/berichte/boxbackup.html
I plan to publish an update soon. It's already finished but we will
publish one or two other articles before.

Thank you,
