You configured xinetd for bsdtcp auth but amrecover use bsd.
Add:
auth "bsdtcp"
in /etc/amanda/amanda-client.conf
or '-o auth=bsdtcp' argument to amrecover.

One last q. It tells me to run amrecover from /
Who tell that?
You should run amrecover from an empty directory.
amrecover will erase everything in the directory it do the extraction.
but when I cd to /home/gene and add two subdirs I need, the prompt says
the will be extracted into /.
Ahh, lcd does it and lpwd confirms.
But:
amrecover> extract

The following tapes are needed: Dailys-5
Dailys-6

Load tape Dailys-5 now
Continue [?/Y/n/s/d]? Y
amrecover - can't talk to tape server: [request failed: Connection
refused]
Now what?
good it fail, otherwise /home/gene would be erased.
Look at the message, is says it connect to 'localhost', you must specify
the tape server, you can do it in amanda-client.conf, in amrecover
argument or by changing the tape device in amrecover.
