Was that tape created with the tape-spanning features of 2.5.0beta
with a ridiculously small tapesplit_size (or the default
fallback_splitsize of 10 Mbyte and you bypassing the holdingdisk)?
In that case you should use "amfetchdump" instead of amrestore.
(Actually, I haven't even tried that utility yet. I tried recovering
a tape-chunked image with amrecover and that worked perfect.)
