I tried to set CWD as an environment variable in a variety of shells (bash,
csh, ksh)
export CWD=`pwd`
.... but alas I still got the complaint, "Can't determine disk and mount
point from $CWD"

I am testing with the root directory of my workstation "clark, a Red Hat 7.0
PC" clark is my amanda server,
index server and tape server. Using amdump with (index = yes) I dumped
/dev/hda1, the root partition.

tried to set my disk with
the following results:
# amrecover -C Weekly -s clark -t clark -d /dev/nst0
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2p1. Contacting server on clark. ...
220 clark AMANDA index server (2.4.1p1) ready.
200 Access OK
Setting restore date to today (2001-03-29)
200 Working date set to 2001-03-29.
200 Config set to Weekly.
200 Dump host set to clark.
Can't determine disk and mount point from $CWD

Yes, here are some excerpts from my amanda.conf and disklist
from amanda.conf:
...
infofile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/Weekly/curinfo" # database DIRECTORY
logdir "/usr/local/etc/amanda/Weekly" # log directory
indexdir "/usr/local/etc/amanda/Weekly" # index directory
tapelist "/usr/local/etc/amanda/Weekly/tapelist" # list of used tapes
....
define dumptype linux0 {
comment "Linux dump level 0"
program "DUMP"
dumpcycle 0
index yes
}
from disklist:
#
# clark
#
clark /dev/hda1 linux0
clark /dev/hda5 linux0
clark /dev/hda3 linux0
clark /dev/hda6 linux0

In my /usr/local/etc/amanda/Weekly directory there is a "clark" directory
with breaks out in an index tree holding the gzip'd files
[/usr/local/etc/amanda/Weekly]>cd clark
[/usr/local/etc/amanda/Weekly/clark]>ls
_dev_hda1/ _dev_hda3/ _dev_hda5/ _dev_hda6/
[/usr/local/etc/amanda/Weekly/clark]>cd _dev_hda1
[/usr/local/etc/amanda/Weekly/clark/_dev_hda1]>ls
20010326_0.gz 20010326_1.gz 20010328_0.gz 20010328_1.gz
[/usr/local/etc/amanda/Weekly/clark/_dev_hda1]>
