I think this is due to a subtly misleading file format variation.

If you look at =E2=80=98export-paths=E2=80=99, it does:

  while there are files to write
    write-long-long 1
    export-path file
  write-long-long 0

=E2=80=98restore-file-set=E2=80=99 does the opposite, which is to read that=
 long-long to
determine whether there=E2=80=99s data coming up, and then to call
=E2=80=98restore-file=E2=80=99.

HTH!

Ludo=E2=80=99.
