I assume you use dump/restore on Linux. What version of dump?
Can you amrestore the complete image to disk?
amrestore $TAPE host /partition
Do you get an error here? That would mean, your drive/tape/whatever
could be bad.
If not, can you restore from that file?
cd /somewhere
restore rf /where/you/dropped/that/file/from/amrestore
Did you try the "v" flag on restore?
amrestore -p $TAPE host /partition | restore rvf -
