Hello all.
I'm running amanda 2.4.2p2 on a Solais8 Ultra 5 box. I have an Exabyte 215M 
robot with a Mammoth2 drive.
amcheck runs clean and amdump works great. I just got all of this 
configured and running yesterday. I was going to test amrecover, but am 
stuck with the following error:
------------------------------------------------
amrecover> pwd
/opt/HIARCjb/man/man1
amrecover> ls
2001-06-22 .
2001-06-22 jbstatus.1
amrecover> add jbstatus.1
Added /HIARCjb/man/man1/jbstatus.1
amrecover> extract

Extracting files using tape drive 0n on host malt.
The following tapes are needed: DailySet11

Restoring files into directory /

EOF, check amidxtaped.debug file on malt.
amrecover: short block 0 bytes
UNKNOWN file
amrecover: Can't read file header
extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1
Continue? [Y/n]: n
amrecover>
------------------------------------------------------------
No matter what I do, amrecover (run as user root) works great until I issue 
the extract command, and then I always get the same error
EOF, check amidxtaped.debug
UNKNOWN file

Here is the amidxtaped.debug file
--------------------------------------------

amrestore: could not open tape 0n: No such file or directory

----------------------------------------

But, I do not see any permission issues as I can run a "mt stat" with no 
problems:

malt# mt -f /dev/rmt/0n stat
Exabyte Mammoth2 tape drive:
    sense key(0x0)= No Additional Sense   residual= 0   retries= 0
    file no= 0   block no= 0
malt#


Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
Any help much appreciated.

Thanks.
