Tape device drivers can be funny. They don't seem to have timeouts and there might be interaction between locks on the device, closing the drive, and waiting for the lock to clear so it can be opened again. I'd bet if you truss the amrestore process (can be attached to on an already running process) you'd discover it was just sitting there waiting for ??? (something to complete/release/???). Solution?
