I had the same problem some time ago...

I was trying to restore a subdirectory from another system to my system.
The backup files listed with a DIR on the drive.

I had created the new SUBDIR with the same name as was used on the source.
But....

I found that the BACKUP command had been issued from inside the SUBDIR.

I found this by trying several times to RESTORE the files (no luck), then 
switched to the SUBDIR to check it and issued the RESTORE again.  This time
it worked !!  I checked my syntax to be sure, but found that the only       
difference was the fact that I was in the SUBDIR. 

I tried this a few more times, and found that the files would not restore
unless I was in the SUBDIR.  RESTORE would still ask me for all of the 
floppies, but ended with "No Files found to Restore".


Hope this helps....
