the manual is already updated for ibbackup-2.0, while there is
no --apply-log option at all in ibbackup-1.40 :(. In 1.40 you must
use --restore.
Please use
./ibbackup --help
to look at the available options in 1.40.
ibbackup-2.0.0 has now been declared stable on Linux, and on Linux we are
only shipping 2.0.0 from now on.

I guess ibbackup interprets that your first my.cnf file is called
'--apply-log', it does not understand it is an option (of 2.0)! Then it
refuses to run because the hostname of the computer does not match.
