=========== amrestore: could not open /dev/nst0: Permission denied
What does 'ls -l /dev/nst0' say? And what user and group runs amanda on the server?
amrecover, in my hands, has a "root user" check at startup. Thus, I assume that Jim was running amrecover as root.
Does amreocover su to another user before calling amrestore? If not, would local permissions come into play?
but amrecover talks to amidxtape over the network (even when you restore on the server) for reading the tape, and that should be started as
user amanda on the server. Verify the (x)inetd configuration.
