Narrative:

On taxi out at smf, received reroute from ground. Captain and first officer wrote down, oal-J92-bty-lvs-txo. Just past beaty VOR, center gave us a hard right turn to avoid restr area. They expected us to go to las and not lvs. Las is on J92, but the reroute included J92 to bty only. Don't know if the mistake was ours or theirs.
