Frank, You dont say what error messages were issued by EDGBKUP during restore/forward recovery, but I would guess you got a message about 'start point not found'. When this happens rmm will use what records it can to forward recover but you are really expected to find out why and then run recovery again with the correct journals. I would guess that you did not provide the correct starting journal and in those missing records was a deleted bin record... resulting in your current problems.
If you have run EDGUTIL with VERIFY(ALL) you should kow all the problems that rmm found, and hopefully you would also know that MEND can be used to fix those errors. You can use EDGUTIL with MEND(STORE) to cleanup those errors in the bin records.
