amrestore: WARNING: not at start of tape, file numbers will be offset

Besides the "localhost" problem, you have to rewind the tape, even if
it is a virtual tape:

        ammt -f file://home/amandatapes/daily rewind

or, alternatively, add these two directives to amanda.conf:

amrecover_do_fsf yes    # this implies a rewind
amrecover_check_label yes
