For those experiencing this issue, here is the fix. 
 DISCLAIMER: Make sure 100% that the signature version numbers are exactly the same on both firewalls before proceeding 
 Putty - Advanced Shell 
 
 psql -U nobody -d corporate -xc "select * from tblconfiguration where key = 'ips_cat_version'"; 
 You should see that "value" is set to 0 
 
 psql -U nobody -d corporate -c "update tblconfiguration set value = '1' where key = 'ips_cat_version'"; 
 psql -U nobody -d corporate -xc "select * from tblconfiguration where key = 'ips_cat_version'"; 
 You should now see that "value" is set to 1 
 
 Restore will now work
