Hmm, can you try the restore without --exclude-other-filesystems and
with -v6 and tell me what it says before the final error?  That
information will hopefully narrow it down to one file.

If the problem is restoring hard links, it may work if you use
--no-hard-links when restoring.  But I'd still like to see the -v6
info.
