"The iPhone “iPhone” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (6)."error message while upgrading my iPhone to 2.0.1. Long story short, the software update was corrupted:
bash-3.2# md5 "/Users/alpha/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/"*
MD5 (/Users/alpha/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/iPhone1,1_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipsw) = abc314729d23d9073b64706e9e24335e
bash-3.2# md5 "/Users/lambda/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/"*
MD5 (/Users/lambda/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/iPhone1,1_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipsw) = 5c5da46c5e758cfd8a2d830cacf37bd7
I created a new user, lambda, iTunes downloaded the new software again, and the iPhone restore completed succesfully. I copied lambda's copy to my main account, and it restored from backup beautifully.
