yes you should read velocities. ntx=5 and irest=1 are fine for GB.
It seems like there is a problem with the file reading- check your stderr
file to see the error message (perhaps in the queue error output,
it depends on how you are running the sander job).
Also you can use a file editor to look at the restart file
and make sure it is ok, the file format is given on the amber web site.

does the same job work with ntx=1 and irest=0? are you sure the restart
file has velocities? (restart files from minimization do not)
