Hi,
I have a similar configuration and works as expected.
The only thing different is
amrecover_changer "/dev/changer"
where /dev/changer is a sym link to /dev/sg11 (The Robot)
When I recover something I do not define anything and the
changer and tapes devices are obtain in the CONF of amanda.conf
I only execute this as root and the recover works
$ amrecover CONF -s amanda -t amanda
Cheers,
Nuno
