Thank you! Now I think I know what happened... When amrestore finishes it asks if it should set the mode. I assumed it was the file mode that I had restored but it appeared to change the mode of /tmp which is what I restored to. That is why the next amrestore didn't work. What is amrestore asking me about the mode?
