Trying to restore a backup file for database
"Midsouth" to another server which does not have database "Midsouth"

Just a regular
Restore database Midsouth
from
disk='D:\ms\Midsouth_Backup'
gives me the error that the file cannot be used with restore, consider using the with move option. Ok. So I use the "with move" option:

Restore database Midsouth
from
disk='D:\ms\Midsouth_Backup'
with
Move 'Midsouth_Backup' to 'd:\ms\midsouth_data.mdf'
Move 'midsouth_backup' to 'd:\ms\midsouth_data.ldf'

and I get File 'Midsouth_Backup' is not a database file for database Midsouth. I'm totally hosed up here. Ideas Please? I'm sure i'm missing something very simple.
