What was the full command that you used?

You should not normally need the --from-restart-id option - SimFactory uses this internally.  It is supposed to work out which restart to recover from automatically.  

You should be able to do

	sim submit <simulation>

and it should queue a restart which recovers.  If this doesn't work, can you post your log.txt file (from the simulation directory) so we can see what went wrong?
