Eeek!
Sure sounds like you're running restore on hardware/OS that is very
different than that of the original amanda client that generated
the dump.

In particular, it smells like you're trying to run:
restore(8) on an x86 Linux box
using a data file written by:
ufsdump(1M) on a SPARC Solaris box.
If that's the case (I could be wrong):
1) It would have been nice of you to tell us up-front, instead of
making us reverse-engineer it.
2) It's not guaranteed to work in the first place.
3) I'm fairly impressed that it gets as far as it does! :-)
Grab "sparck" or another Solaris box, then just copy/NFS mount the data
file over there and run ufsrestore.
You could try:
% dd if=filename obs=32k conv=swab | sudo restore -ivh -b 32 -f -
But I doubt that will help.
You could also try bare-minimum restore flags, assuming you have
room:
% dd if=filename obs=32k conv=swab | sudo restore -r -b 32 -f -
But I doubt that will help, either.
