Your amidxtape service is running amidxtaped as some user-id which you can discover in your inetd.conf file (which should be your amanda user you configured when it was built). That user apparently cannot open the /dev/nst1 device on your system, hence no tape data for the restore. Either that or I'm totally confused. marc
