Problem causing me to have to restore tlogs WITH MOVE

I have a database i am m oving to another server, during the process I
am moving the data and log files to another drive.(Which I have done
countless times before with no problems)
The problem I am having is after I restore the database using the
following statement :
RESTORE DATABASE CMAMSPROD FROM DISK = ’C:\Databasename.BAK’
WITH STANDBY = ’D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
 Server\MSSQL\BACKUP\
 Databasename\databas
ename.STANDBY’
,MOVE ’Databasename_Data’ TO ’D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
 Server\MSSQL\Data\Da
tabasename_Data.mdf’
,MOVE ’Databasename_Log’ TO ’D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
 Server\MSSQL\Data\Da
tabasename_Log.ndf’

I get these errors when trying to restore transaction logs :

[SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3156)  Device activation error. The physical
file
name ’C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
 Server\MSSQL\Data\Da
tabasename_log.ldf’ may be incorrect.
[SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 5105)  File ’Databasename_Log’ cannot be
restored to ’C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
 Server\MSSQL\Data\Da
tabasename_log.ldf’. Use WITH MOVE to identify
a valid location for the file.

Has anyone encountered the same problem?  This has me stumped,
although restoring the tlog with move, and standby works....this is
not how it should work.
