"btrfs replace" should be your first option, not "btrfs restore", unless
it's totally damaged and you want to salvage as much as possible.

No extra info like something restored succefully? Just 'Error mkdiring
/mnt/Old4TB/Jayda TV:2'?
At least it's ENOENT, checking mkdir(3p) should gives your the reason:
---
ENOENT A component of the path prefix specified by path does
not name
an existing directory or path is an empty string.
---
Did the dir "/mnt/Old4TB" exists in first place?
