xfsrestore does not create its destination directory, it simply restores
the dump to the directory specified.  I don't think it is up to xfsrestore
to change the ownership or permissions of the owning directory -- it can't
assume what other uses that directory might have.

Eg. "xfsdump - /filesystem | xfsrestore - /tmp"
