Issue with mongorestore

I ran mongobackup against my mongodb instance and it created three folders for my 3 collections in my db.

So backup looks like following:

--dbbackup/collection1/bson_files

--dbbackup/collection2/bson_files

--dbbackup/collection3/bson_files

Now I am trying to restore above backup with following command:

mongorestore --db dbrestore --collection collection1 
--drop /dbbackup/collection1/

but it's failing with following error:

Failed: error scanning filesystem: file /dbbackup/collection1/ is a directory,
not a bson file

How do I successfully restore my backup?
