Please confirm that your backup archives are in the same directory as the kickstart.php script and have at least 0644 permissions. The directory where kickstart.php script resides must have at least 0755 permissions.

If this does not help, you can always follow an alternative restoration procedure. Instead of using kickstart on your server, you can use Akeeba extract Wizard on your local PC. The upload the extracted files to your site and visit http://www.example.com/installation/index.php where www.example.com is the URL to your site. After finishing the restoration remember to remove the installation directory.
