When I ran amrecover (2.4.1p1) today to restore some NT files via Samba (2.06) 
it requested a tape, for the level 0 backup, and a holding area, for the 
incrementals. The level 0 files came off the tape without any problems, but 
then I received an error trying to recover the holding area files.
The session went as follows:

amrecover> setdisk //mainserver/Users
200 Disk set to //mainserver/Users.
amrecover> cd test5
//mainserver/Users/test5
amrecover> add A1
Added dir /test5/A1 at date 2000-10-31

I have successfully recovered files from this particular holding area file 
today, but the problem seems to come when I have to recover files from tape as 
well.

amindexd.debug does have an unexpected EOF error - see attached file - but I'm 
not sure if this is relevant. I've also attached amrecover.debug in case this 
has any clues:
  
All suggestions gratefully received, as ever,
