My initial guess is that you are trying to restore to a filesystem that
is smaller than the one from which your backups were created.

You might try going into divvy to make your partition slightly larger
and see what happens.  In any case, it's a good habit to write
down what your disk partitions tables are just in case the disk
has to be re-formatted.
