Jack,

As Richard suggested...
Before doing the restore, on the Exchange server to which you
will perform the restore to, you need to create the
Storage Groups and databases exactly as they appeared
on the original server (the upper/lower casing of the
names also needs to exactly match).
You may also need to mark the databases as:
   "This database can be overwritten by a restore."
Then you should be able to perform the restore.

Thanks,

Del
