Hi, I think you're right. For some reason, the partition scheme was set to MBR instead of Apple Partition Map so I guess the disk I wanted to restore to was a Windows disk and I didn't reinitialize correctly. Now that I've repartitioned correctly, the restore from mounted image works.

Whoops.

Thanks for the tips.
