[Q] Clockworkmod restore not working - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Atrix 4g has the boot loader unlocked, rooted, is currently running nottachtrix 1.3 with faux 1.3 kernal.
Before flashing nottachtrix I used Clockworkmod Rom Manager to back up the stock rom.
I tried to restore to the stock rom from the app and it failed, the error was "couldn't open directory. no files found" but by this point it had already removed the existing rom. I installed nottachtrix again with out wiping anything and managed to get the phone back working again as before.
I can't restore any of my backups, even new backups made don't work. The error I'm getting is:
"clockworkMod recovery v5.0.2.0
couldn't open directory.
no files found"
The files are still there in the folder /sdcard /clockworkmod/backup the new backups made are also saved to that folder.
From the report.log:
ui_print("ROM Manager Version 5.0.3.1");
ui_print("13 December 2012");
assert(restore_rom("/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/Stock_backup", "boot", "system", "data", "cache", "sd-ext"));

result was NULL, message is: assert failed: restore_rom("/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/Stock_backup", "boot", "system", "data", "cache", "sd-ext")
It says "No space left on device" does that mean on the SD Card or the internal storage? There is 1.02 gb available on the internal storage and 3.35 gb on the sdcard how much is required?
Any help would be very much appreciated!

try placing a folder inside your internal storage naming it just like the cwm recovery folder on your sdcard and with the same structure (clockworkmod/backup/ )put your backup inside , and free some space on your internal storage aswell , then try again i remember reading something about different storage settings for different roms

Thanks for the reply
Last night I uninstalled CWM and reinstalled it then tried it again, it failed when restoring the backup of the stock rom, but it did restore a old back up of nottachtrix.
I updated CWM sometime after backing up the stock rom, I wonder if that's the problem? Or the backup is corrupt, I have a back up of it on the PC so will try using that instead.
What do you think?
Thanks again for the advice.

agreed, maybe it's an incompatible backup, or also try selective restore option, and restore partition by partition, make sure to do all necessary wipes

I'm guessing that's all done in Clockworkmod?
Is there any where I can get an older version of Clockworkrom?
thanks for the help

Thats not a good idea, you risk a hard brick, or need to rsd flash rom again, im not sure about this but there is an adb way to manually flash each partition regardless of restore being corrupt or not but thats too riskiest
