>amrestore: short file header block: 26624 bytes

What do you get if you do this:

  mt -f /dev/tape rewind
  dd if=/dev/tape bs=32k count=1 > /tmp/f0.b0
  ls -l /tmp/f0.b0
  strings /tmp/f0.b0

>amrestore: WARNING: not at start of tape, file numbers will be offset

Had you positioned this tape with an fsf or something else before
running amrecover?

Had you rewound the tape?  Amrecover does not do so (or anything else), so
if it was at the end (or someplace in the middle), bad things will happen.
