You have to use the -R option instead of the -F option on a restart, I believe.  
>From the manpage:

The /-R/ option may be used instead of /-F/ if some of the pieces were  not

       properly  finished  by  previous  (killed) runs of /rpiece./  This option
       should be used by at most one /rpiece/ process,  which  must  be  started
       first and with /no/ /other/ /rpiece/ /processes/ /running/ or else it will reren-
       der the same pieces other  processes  have  begun.   Once  the  recover
       process  is  started, you may start other /rpiece/ processes using the /-F/
       option to run simultaneously.  If some processes die during  execution,
       leaving one or more half-finished pieces in the picture even though the
       other processes think the work is done, you may  run  a  single  /rpiece/
       with the /-R/ option by itself to repair the holes.
