>I am using amrecover on a remote machine to restore a file from my file server
Are the server and remote machine running the same OS, and are they the
same OS as the client that was backed up? The dump format is not (in
general) compatible between OS's (e.g. Linux and Solaris). Your "Doing
Quad swapping" message indicates some kind of mismatch.

Since you run amrecover as root on the clients, you need entries like
this for the Amanda user on the server in ~<AMANDA>/.amandahosts:
<CLIENT1> root
<CLIENT2> root
...
in addition to all the other entries (change <AMANDA> to your Amanda user,
<CLIENT1> to one of your clients, <CLIENT2> to another, and so on).
