There's nothing in the doc's about a Can't >find dir' error message.. Um, yeah. The "errcode: 13" should give you a clue - look in /usr/include/asm/errno.h and look for 13. It says "permission denied". Look at the permissions on the "yonks" directory. There are two reasons I can think of off the top of my head why this would happen after a restore - your umask is set to restrict access, or you restored on a different system and the UIDs don't match. But generally, it's a permission problem.
