It sounds like there is a MySQL error preventing a few tables from being created. I infer from your second post that one of the tables is Joomla's users table. I know for a fact that this table doesn't have anything weird which could cause a MySQL error. So I am really wondering why this happened.
Of course you don't see any errors now :) You unchecked the Stop on CREATE and Stop on Error checkboxes, therefore telling ANGIE to suppress all error reporting. Let me remind you that ANGIE is the script that is actually restoring your database. ANGIE is part of the backup archive. Kickstart has nothing to do with restoring the database. Kickstart only extract the backup archive (writes the files). This information is presented to you every time you run Kickstart, please take a couple of minutes to read it next time you use Kickstart. It's not idle pedantry or passive aggressiveness, I swear! Understanding there are two different scripts running during the full restoration process is important to realizing that, for example, using a different version of Kickstart will not affect how your database is restored. It sets your expectations and reduces your confusion over what is going on.
If this happens to you again run the restoration checking both Stop on CREATE and Stop on Error checkboxes. Do not increase the time; doing so will most likely cause the restoration to fail (if the request takes too long Apache or PHP will kill it; that's why we chop down the restoration in small bits). You will get a more descriptive MySQL error message about what is going on. In this case I'd also like to know which version of Akeeba Backup was used to take the backup.
