Failure using logshipping

I get error message below when setting up logshipping. (4.2) I did the Logshipping wizard succesfully, and let the schedule begin next day with backups and restore. To try it out I did one manually (backup on source and restore on destination) .. It keeps failing. After I use the Restore wizard in the Sql BAckup GUI it gives the following error.
This is driving me crazy.. the database is is Loading state (was Readonly and thus good)...And it will be in this state forever... (I tried/waited whole night) . So I can delete the database again and restart all over....
Is this a known issue?

Can this last patch be an issue?
I would suggest starting over, using native backups first i.e. make a full backup, followed by a trx log backup, then restore on to the standby server.
Do run DBCC CHECKDB first on the production database first to ensure everything's in order.
