What this means is that you really did not get far enough for a restart.
 I guess the message should be clearer.  The manifest is written, but
the sigtar file has not really made it yet.  In this one case there's
nothing to be done, but in cases where the count is something like
manifest has 4 and the remote has 3, the manifest can be corrected.
