I am having a permission problem with amrecover that makes no sense to me.

Please cc me on any replies.  I am a memebr of the list but I haven't seen any 
mail in a while

Extracting files using tape drive /dev/ait2 on host thames.
The following tapes are needed: C83256

amrecover: error reading tape: Connection reset by peer

The amidxtaped file shows:

$ cat amidxtaped.20030314110107.debug

On Chena I have in .amandahosts:

thames          root
thames          amanda

On Thames:

chena           amanda
chena           root

The tape is loaded in the drive and I have checked it with dd to be sure it is 
readable.  Both thames and chena are in /etc/hosts.  Netstat shows an 
established connection between thames and chena:amadaidx.

I've restored using amrecover before so why doesn't amanda allow me to connect 
now?
