What was your working directory when you started amrecover?  Amrecover
restores files into your current working directory, not back into the
original location.  It even tries to warn you about this, although it
may not have been clear what it was saying.

Also, files are relative to the entry that was backed up.  For instance,
if you had a file named /mnt/share/Work/project/xxx.c, the actual
file on the tape is just "project/xxx.c" (the "/mnt/share/Work" part
is forgotten).   If you start amrecover from directory /home/abc, then
the file will be restored into /home/abc/project/xxx.c.

The moral of the store is, if you want to restore things back to their
original location, cd to the disklist entry name (e.g. /mnt/share/Work)
before starting amrecover.
