But according to what you wrote before you start the server
with -D /staging/9.1/main.
That means that /staging/9.1/main/pg_xlog contains the active
WAL files, right?

So the restore_command 'cp /staging/9.1/main/pg_xlog/%f "%p"'
would just try to cp the files onto themselves, right?

The WAL archive directory must be different from the
active WAL directory.  Check if that's your problem!
