I tried your "workaround nr. 1", but it didnt work, but it gave me a

Strange, "it works when I do it". I just tried:

amrecover> ls
2003-07-24 .
2003-07-14 help/
2003-07-24 newfile
2003-07-24 space dir1/
2003-07-24 space dir2/
2003-07-24 subdir1/
amrecover> cd space*dir1
/home/paul/tmp/dirs/dir3/space dir1

Maybe an older version?
There are some more bugs in amrecover:

amrecover> cd ..
/home/paul/tmp/dirs/dir3
amrecover> cd help
Invalid command - parse error


You can't address a file or directory named "help".  Keywords
are reserved in the yacc grammar.  But quotes around the
keywords help in this case too:

amrecover> cd "help"
/home/paul/tmp/dirs/dir3/help
amrecover>

clue, here is the workaround:
setdisk /home/files
cd "  MAGS"

So why I can't use: setdisk "/home/files/ MAGS" is strange, but most important; it works!!

You can't use "setdisk" in this case because is is not a DiskListEntry.

you have to navigate further with "cd" or "cdx".
