Experiencing the same issue.

Could be the version related issues
What is your mongorestore version?

Yeah, that was it. Took me a good while to figure out. The version I got through apt-get didn’t have a version number, only said “Built without version number” or something along those lines.

Manually downloading and installing v100.5.2 solved the issue.
