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.
