Ok, it seems to have to do with restoring a privileged container as an unprivileged container using PBS.

Is this not a supported operation?
This is generally an unsupported operation with with container backups apparently as I found from some other threads. Solved.

Tried searching for this error, nothing came up on the forums or google.
Still debugging this, but if someone happens to know whats wrong, let me know. :)
