Have you tried amfetchdump? In the near-worst case scenario
you can use the log file to help you locate the file on tape,
extract the file to disk using dd, and then manually process
things.

I'm rather pressed for time on this so any solutions would be most
appreciated. Even if I need to use a different recovery tool
(amrestore).
