Restoring Public Folders to Different Server

I have a production server that is a Domain controller and and Exchange 2003 Server. I used ntbackup to do a full backup. I have built another machine off the network. I want to just restore the public folders for dev and testing purposes. I have named the new machine the same, added the AD with the same names, installed exchange 2003 with the same names and service packs. I go to restore the ntbackup file selecting just the Public Folder store and I get this Event error

1. Event ID 904 Source ESE Backup
Information Store (3516) Callback function call ErrESECBRestoreGetDestination ended with error 0xC7FE1F41 Database is in use.

I have looked at this event on the web, but it always refers to mailbox stores and recovery groups which are not an option for me with Public Folders.

Thanks.

I did set the overwrite but was not dismounting the store. I am trying this right now.
Ok. Let us know how you go. Thanks.
The public Store will not Mount after restore finished. I am rebooting right now and I will put together the event log errors.
Here are the event errors trying to mount the Publice folders Database

Event ID 8197 SOurce MSExchangeFBPublish

Error initializing session for virtual machine BJ-MAIL. The error number is 0x8004011d. Make sure Microsoft Exchange Store is running.


Event ID 619 Source ESE

Information Store (2520) First Storage Group: Attempted to attach database 'C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\pub1.edb' but it is a database restored from a backup set on which hard recovery was not started or did not complete successfully.

Event ID 9519 Source MSExchangeIS

Error 0xfffffde0 starting database "First Storage Group\Public Folder Store (BJ-MAIL)" on the Microsoft Exchange Information Store.
FYI

I have the original pub.edb and pub.stm files if this makes things simpler than an NTbackup restore....
I did not select last backup set on the restore, doing that now..
Database mounted successfully.
