I'm not sure this is a bug. The default action is to create the resume 
file in the directory above the requested one, i.e. 
d:\RESTORE.boxbackupresume in your case, to avoid polluting the restored 
directory with the resume info file. In this case that attempt failed, and 
the question is why? Do you (the user on the command line) have permission 
to create that file in D:\?

I have a feeling that this is a workaround that results in the resume file 
being created in the restored directory, which may not be desirable.

Cheers, Chris.
