1. Do a man amrecover on the machine your are doing the restore from
and see what amanda thinkd your index server is.
2. Try the full amrecover command:
# amrecover -C <config> -s <index server> -t <tape server>
3. what version of amanda is running on the index server? The error
you are seeing from amindexd.c but I cannot find that error message
in the 2.4.2p1 source code. (Nor 2.4.2p2, nor 2.4.3b2). It was in
2.4.1p1.

You have the right to remain helpless. Should you give up this right,
anything you do will be used against you in a court of law. You have
the right to an assailant. If you cannot find one yourself, the court
will release one for you.
