I had this trouble recenbtly, and it was simply a matter of using the right
wildcards in the right places. Something like:

      restore a:\ c:\*.* /s

The *.* caused the error to go away......

Incompatible versions of RESTORE can cause the problem too. There is a good
restore program in SIMTEL20, but I don't remember exactly where and I don't
have the index here with me.
