I had great hopes 3.3.1 would solve my restore problem but have

Got no header and data from server, check in amidxtaped.*.debug and 
amandad.*.debug files on server

the amidxtaped debug file says:

Wed Feb 22 11:45:10 2012: thd-0xe43e360: amidxtaped: Amanda::Recovery::Clerk:

Are they the latest lines in the amidxtaped debug file?


Can you get a backtrace of the process? do the following:
In the amidxtaped, script, add a the following line:
    sleep(10);
before the call to main(), at the end of the file.

retry amrecover
As soon as the recovery is started, do the following (you have 10 seconds to do it).
  ps -ef | grep amidxtaped
  gdb -p <pid of amidxtaped>
in gdb, do:
   cont
Once it crash, do:
  where
  bt
