The Mac OS X build number on the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 disc is not the same as the one on the MacBook Pro restore discs.

If Mac OS X were currently available in a hard-copy newer than 10.6.3, this wouldn't be an issue. But this close to the original build version of the notebook, it's feasible that the retail disc's version is actually older than the restore disc.

My advice would be to contact AppleCare and request a new set of the original discs, they should contain the proper build.
