errno 1 is EPERM ("Operation not permitted") and is generally returned if
you attempt to write somewhere you're not allowed to. Considering the
offset is near the end of the disk, GBDE may be trying to prevent you from
overwriting metadata blocks at the end of the partition. How or why
restore(8) would be writing there I'm not sure.

A SCSI error would return as errno 5 (EIO, "Input/output error").
