the energies that you will get from your NEB  must be identical (up to the SCF convergence) to the one of the frame corresponding to the restart file.
Is this the case?

If not, check the keywords that control aligment.. 
Also, not all information are stored in the restart file. For instance, the DIIS vectors are not. This means that the first steps may be offline regarding the gradients, but the energy of the first point MUST be identical to the one of the frame when restart was written.
