Tom,

When I tested with our system, it would not attempt to retrieve that first WAL 
via the restore command.  All the ones after that it was happy to do it for, 
but if that one did not exist, it told me to get lost.  That was on 8.0.3.  I 
did not test any other versions.

Putting it in the pg_xlog dir made everything go smoothly though.
