It probably means that the default configuration (often "Dailyset1") compiled
into amrecover isn't the same as the name of the configuration you actually
use. You'll want to look in /tmp/amanda/amindexed*debug on the Amanda
server to check that.
You'll either need to recompile Amanda on the client after re-running
configure with the "--with-config=xxx" option or just make sure you use the
correct configuration name when you run amrecover. For example, on my
system the configuration name is "DLT", the tape/index server is "iori", and
the tape drive (on iori) is "/dev/nsa0", so here's how I run amrecover:
amrecover -C DLT -s iori -t iori -d /dev/nsa0
More information is in the amrecover man page and in "The Chapter" at
http://www.backupcentral.com/amanda-23.html
I hope this helps,
