I tried using the -l option on amfetchdump, but it still wants to be
able to decrypt the file before it dumps it


amfetchdump: slot 16: time 20100302090001 label laptops-0016 (exact label match)
Scanning volume laptops-0016 (slot 16)
amfetchdump: 1: restoring FILE: date 20100302090001 host 
mlb-laptop.imparisystems.local disk /home/mlb/ImpariSystems lev 1 comp .gz 
program /bin/tar crypt enc client_encrypt /usr/sbin/amcryptsimple 
client_decrypt_option -d
gpg: decryption failed: bad key


I'm working back through the files just to see if one of these hits - I
can't imagine using a separate passphrase on this set than on any other
groups.

Thanks for all the help
