I was lucky enough to see one of these errors myself, and fixed it in
CVS.  It happens when you restore a configuration like this:

dir1/dir1-2/dir1-2-1/reg1
dir1/dir1-2/reg2

where there are no regular files in dir1-2 before dir1-2-1, and the
user restoring is not root.

Sorry for the extremely long delay.  It was pretty hard to debug
though; I doubt I could have done it without being able to see the
problem on my side.  Even then it took several hours.

I'll release a new 0.12.x version soon with this update.
