The restore recreated the numeric user and group assignments the files had on their original host. Unfortunately, the /etc/passwd file on the target system had a different mapping between numeric user IDs and user names than the /etc/passwd file on the original host, and the /etc/group file had a different mapping between numeric group IDs and group names.
