Try to pass the XMLDB URI without the root collection path "/db", i.e.:

Restore restore =3D new Restore("admin", "", null, file,
"xmldb:exist://localhost:8080/exist/xmlrpc");

Restore.mkcol appends /db to the URI it received, which leads to a
double /db/db here. Sorry for that, the code should check this.
