I assume you are starting amrecover as root, right? You didn't make it
setuid and are trying to run it as a normal user?
The only thing I can think of is that your OS is being particularly
annoying about changing back and forth between root and some other user.
Amrecover is the only Amanda program that does that (as I recall).
It doesn't really need to, it was just an early start at supporting user
controlled restores.
I'd try searching for seteuid in recover-src/amrecover.c (one occurance)
and recover-src/extract_list.c (twice). Just comment those calls out
(and the matching setegid) and see if that does any good.
