Puffff you nailed it!!!   No...315 was not the last one..there was one 316
which looked empty (512 bytes or so) and therefore stone log was saying:

    *Creation of a new transaction log has failed,*
*....*

*DBF Op: Create; DBF Record: -1;*
*Error: The specified file already exists.; System Codes: No disk I/O error
information is available.*

I don;t know how the 316 was generated but I simply deleted that one and
now the restore procedure worked like a charm.

Thank you very much. Cool, I now have a compactExtent.sh :)

Cool!
