Does this mean that it restored 1 file?

What command did you use exactly?
What is the amanda headerblock suggesting as command?
Typically these are errors of a corrupted tarfile, and sometimes
simply of trying to extract a gzipped tar file without the -z option.

So you have the share smbmounted on a Unix computer named "backup".
Why not using smbclient, as builtin in Amanda? At least you
can do level 1 incrementals (or maybe even more, I didn't check
in the latest amanda sources.)
