joyce,
no. this has nothing to do with it.
the problem is the call to rename(2) preceding the attempt to
open the file. for some reason, you cannot overwrite the old
backup file. do you have some kind of parallel filesystem on
that new cluster? you should carefully check the status, ownership
and permissions of the existing and old restart files.
cheers,
axel.
