this is related to my earlier post of:
  [linux-lvm] my volume group disappeared!

I'm trying to restore the vg, which I backed up before with:
  vgcfgbackup -f big_cheese_VG.2005.5.12 big_cheese

now, when I try to restore, I get these errors:

blade01:root # vgcfgrestore -d -v -f big_cheese_VG.2005.5.12 -l -n 
big_cheese big_cheese
