Clonezilla doesn't see saved images (trouble restoring)

I am unable to restore my Ubuntu 12.04 x64 machine to an image I saved because I cannot get the "restore" option to appear in Clonezilla Live.
The machine has 2 hard drives: the primary (sda) has 2 partitions for Ubuntu and swap space, and the second is a single partition (sdb) to be used exclusively for Clonezilla images. Both sda1 and sdb1 are formatted as ext4 and are hundreds of GB. sdb1 is mounts as /cz in Ubuntu.
On sdb1, I currently have 2 directories (each from a saved image): "2013-04-09-13-first" and "2013-04-09-15-second". When I mount sdb1 as /home/partimag in Clonezilla Live, I see the root directory and the 2 image directories (which do not contain space characters).
After mounting sdb1 as /home/partimag (via the "local-dev" option), in another terminal, the command find /home/partimag -print outputs the following:
user@debian:~$ find /home/partimag -print
/home/partimag
/home/partimag/2013-04-09-13-first

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Anyone out there? I really need a solution to this.
The first line of your question is confusing to me. Specifically --> I am unable to restore my Ubuntu 12.04 x64 machine to an image <-- . Do you mean you are unable to restore 'an image' to your /dev/sda drive? If so can you convey how far you got in the Live CZ when your option was not available.
Apparently somehow your images are not complete. A normal image dir will contain a file called "disk" and "parts" which contain disk name and partitions name, as shown here:

Did you see any error when saving an image?
