mongorestore V3 - don't know what to do with file

[Neville Franks]

I'm getting an error using Mongorestore with the current Mongo V3 Release as follows:

-------------

This is on Windows V8. I've also tried 

C:\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin\mongorestore -v -d Clibu-nevf \webapps\clibu\dumps\local_bkp

and get "don't know what to do with subdirectory ..."

I've tried running mongod with both with and without --storageEngine wiredTiger and get the same error.

I've tried everything I can think of without success.

I'm trying to convert Mongo V2.6 db's to Mongo V3 WiredTiger.

If I use mongorestore V2.6 on the same dump it works correctly and all data appears to have been imported and working correctly using WiredTiger.

I've just setup a CentOS server and installed Mongo V3. I've done a mongodump from another server running Mongo V2.6 and when I use mongorestore on the CentOS server I get the same errors: "don't know what to do with file xyz.bson" etc. 

The V3 MongoDB is using WiredTiger in case that is relevant.

I've finally been able to get something working. If I run just 'mongorestore' in the parent of the 'dump' directory it works. Either I'm doing something stupid or mongorestore is broken in V3.
