Do you get a complete log preceding this, though? If so, these messages
mean the restore was successful.

*Never* use -replace_database - it should be bulldozed off a cliff.

It looks to me as if IBE is trying to connect remotely but has lost the

and then reconnecting. Do you try to connect to the restored database
yourself, e.g locally with isql?
