Where is the tape positioned? There is an Amanda label on the front of
the tape before the first backup image. So you need to skip over that
first with "mt fsf" if the tape is rewound. You should be able to use:
su <amanda-user> -c "amadmin Daily find <client-host> <client-fs>"
to find out what tape and what file on that tape contain the backup
image for filesystem "client-fs" on "client-host". Take a look at the
amadmin man page though -- both client-host and client-fs are forms of
regular expressions.
Also, are you just doing some low level testing? In other words, is
there are reason you're not using amrestore or amrecover?
