I'm getting the following odd behavior when doing a restore:

amrecover> extract

Extracting files using tape drive /dev/nrst0 on host flame.nodewarrior.org.
The following tapes are needed: DLT1

Restoring files into directory /tmp
Continue? [Y/n]: y

Load tape DLT1 now
Continue? [Y/n]: y
Root directory is not on tape
abort? [yn] y

The amanda server is a NetBSD-1.5.3 machine, and the dump is ufsdump
from a Solaris 2.5.1 machine. There are two other similar slices on
this dump from the same machine (/var and /) that restore just fine,
so I'm boggled as to why this one fails. It is a rather large slice --
about 11GB (/usr/local), where the other two are roughly 500MB
each. The filesystem was completely quiescent -- I took one mirror of
a RAID0+1 array offline and backed that up, so no writes took place
while the dump ran.

It appears that my "restore" is what's generating this message, not
amanda itself. But I'd appreciate some insight into what amanda did
(if anything) to create a dump that restore can't read.
