Hm, it looks like you are trying to copy xlog segments straight from the
pg_xlog directory of the master?  That's not going to work, because the
master will rename/overwrite those files as soon as it thinks it's done
with them.  You need to have an archive_command on the master that is
really truly copying the data to somewhere else, and then the
restore_command should copy from the somewhere else.
