By "error" I meant you didn't see all the entries in amrecover that you
expected to see.  There isn't anything in the sendbackup*debug file to
indicate what went wrong (or even that anything did go wrong).  The more
useful place to look is the index file (see below).

Since you're having amrecover/index problems, the important thing to
remove is all the index files related to the test.  Run "amgetconf
<config> indexdir" to see where the top of the index directory is, then
cd to the host directory within there and then cd to the disk directory
within that.  Remove all the *.gz files.  Then when you run another test
you can be sure amrecover (amindexd) isn't see old data by mistake.

You can zcat the most recent file Amanda creates to see what amrecover
will have to work with.  If you see all the files you expect to, but
amrecover doesn't show them, then that's one kind of problem (with the
index file itself or amrecover).  If you don't see the files you expect,
then that's a problem with the backup itself.
