Restore hangs (was: time type errors with "brackup-target amazon list_backups")

Having successfully backed up to amazon and restored a single file from
the same machine I did the backup from, I tried getting a backup from
the target and doing the same exact restore using the downloaded
*.brackup file instead of the one created locally during backup.  I
seemed to start just fine but hangs with no load or network activitiy:

$ brackup-target amazon get_backup etc-1238764547
$ brackup-restore --from=/tmp/etc-1238764547.brackup --to=/tmp/ --just=subversion/config

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "..."
2048-bit ELG-E key, ID ..., created ... (main key ID ...)

Decrypted metafile /tmp/etc-1238764547.brackup to /tmp/Azo7FUabJs/UGJi42kiAd; using that to restore from...

Any suggestions?  Might this be related to the datetime issues I
describe in my previous post?

Below are my system and configuration details.
