Restore issues

  I finally got around to trying restore after backing up for months. I
was using tar+bz2+mcrypt, and it backed up without problems. But I was
completely unable to get it to restore from such files. Both locally and
remotely. It seemed to be an issue with decrypting, even though I know I
have the right key. After the error that it couldn't decrypt I got error
messages similar to those below(name mismatch). I had already planned to
switch to tar+bz2+gpg, and decided to move ahead. I was able to
successfully backup(after the change mentioned in my last message). I
wanted to make sure restore was going to work now instead of running
into the same problem in the future. I tried a remote restore first. The
first problem I ran into was that ssh and gpg both wanted a password at
the same time. To workaround this I setup a dsa key to set the backup
server in as root to the server I was trying to restore. Then I found it
won't restore remotely. I get

I had to ctrl-c to get past the file write error. I then tried locally,
and it seems to work, though I get an errors.
