Bug Description

Hello

It seems to me that extundete should easily find some accidentally deleted files

extundelete -v
extundelete version 0.2.4

Context: USB partition and contents of a repertory
ls -l /mnt/USB-b/REP4

The big mistake
export LC_ALL=POSIX
rm -v /mnt/USB-b/REP4/*
removed '/mnt/USB-b/REP4/Fic1'
removed '/mnt/USB-b/REP4/Fic10'
removed '/mnt/USB-b/REP4/Fic11'
removed '/mnt/USB-b/REP4/Fic12'
removed '/mnt/USB-b/REP4/Fic13'
removed '/mnt/USB-b/REP4/Fic14'
removed '/mnt/USB-b/REP4/Fic15'
removed '/mnt/USB-b/REP4/Fic2'
removed '/mnt/USB-b/REP4/Fic3'
removed '/mnt/USB-b/REP4/Fic4'
removed '/mnt/USB-b/REP4/Fic5'
removed '/mnt/USB-b/REP4/Fic6'
removed '/mnt/USB-b/REP4/Fic7'
removed '/mnt/USB-b/REP4/Fic8'
removed '/mnt/USB-b/REP4/Fic9'

the start of the repair
sudo umount -v /dev/sdb2
umount: /mnt/USB-b (/dev/sdb2) unmounted

repair that doesn't work
sudo extundelete /dev/sdb2 --restore-all

This context is a reproduction of errors that have occurred in the French forum and that have not been resolved. I think I did not make a mistake in use.
