Here's what I tried:
[root@bertha amanda]# mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
[root@bertha amanda]# /usr/local/sbin/amrestore -p /dev/nst0 bertha \
/boot | restore -iv -b 2 -f -

I can do the same with a disk from the client, and I can read the
directory --- it matches what I see on the disk.
So I conclude (without actually extracting the files) that the data
_is_ on tape, I just don't have an index file.
Confusingly, I don't see a mention of the client (us) in the
sendbackup.*.debug logs --- shouldn't I?
There's also mention of the client in the following file:
[root@bertha amanda]# more amtrmidx.20020406032926.debug
amtrmidx: debug 1 pid 13712 ruid 5001 euid 5001 start time Sat Apr 6 03:29:26 2

/usr/local/libexec/amtrmidx: version 2.4.2p2
Keeping 1001 index files
bertha /boot
bertha /usr2
us /usr
us /var/mail
us /export/home/us2
amtrmidx: pid 13712 finish time Sat Apr 6 03:29:26 2002
So: the data is making it across. The indexer seems to see the data,
but there's no index.
