Restore script does not seem to work

Hello,
I am trying to restore a 1GB database by using the script below:
alter database [auto] set single_user
go
restore database [auto] from disk = 'F:\Temp\Restore\auto_db'
with norecovery,
move 'auto_dat' to 'F:\SQLDATA\MSSQL\Data\auto.mdf',
move 'auto_log' to 'F:\SQLDATA\MSSQL\Data\auto.ldf',
stats = percentage
go
I added the stats line because it ran for over 2 hours.
I let this run for about half an hour, but it never showed any statistics.
The performance monitor shows 345 MB of memory used and mostly 0 % CPU,
going up to 2 % every few seconds.
The machine is a Pentiium 4 2.8 GHz with 512 MB RAM running 2003 Server
Standard, and there is 20 GB of space on F.
I have restored the same DB by using the Enterprise Manager and I think it
took 5 minutes.
I want to write a script to do this to simplify the process, since this is a
backup server and I am trying to make the job easier for whoever end up with
the job of restoring.
Any ideas why this is happening? I have triple checked the folder structures
and the names.
Any help would be much appreciated.
RagnarThe problem is the stats thing ie
restore database [auto] from disk = 'F:\Temp\Restore\auto_db'
> with norecovery,
> move 'auto_dat' to 'F:\SQLDATA\MSSQL\Data\auto.mdf',
> move 'auto_log' to 'F:\SQLDATA\MSSQL\Data\auto.ldf',
> stats = 5
> go
THis means that SQL should show stats after each 5% has completed...

It turns out that there was something wrong with the server, our IS guys
eventually had to recycle it.
Once I fixed the STATS statement it ran in 202 seconds.
But I was puzzled about the stats display, nothing showed up until the job
finished!
I had used this before, I just copied some sample code, and as far as I can
remember it would print a line whenever a certain percentage had been
processed.
