Sorry I can't help with most of your post - I don't use Tiger (although
it would be nice, in a way, if my company did...). The normal mode of
operation is for rdiff-backup to create the directory that it will
restore into, so I suggest that you try your test restore without first
creating the target directory.
This doesn't explain why the directory disappears when you do the
restore as you have been, so the next thing I'd suggest is running the
restore command with -v9 to get more detail.
Given that you are "pretty new at the CLI", it might make sense to post
here the exact commands you are using.
