What do you mean by "verify"?  No command, including amverify, can
validate an image created by dump, be it on tape or in the holding disk.
It's an unfortunate (and stupid) limitation of the corresponding restore
programs.

Amverify can make sure the tape is readable, and that the initial
portion of the image is more or less OK, but cannot validate the internal
consistency of the file portion of an image.

Amrecover can use files in the holding disk at 2.4.2.  I don't remember
if that code was in 2.4.1p1 or not.  I think it was.
