Have you turned indexing on in amanda.conf?
By default it is off and you would not have indexes
to use with amrecover.  amrestore will have to be
used instead.

Use amadmin to determine the configuration and settings
for your disklist entry.  For example, here is one of mine:

  # amadmin DS1 disklist butch u2
  line 28:
    host butch:
        interface default
    disk /u2:
        program "GNUTAR"
        exclude list "/usr/local/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar"
        priority 0
        dumpcycle 7
        maxdumps 8
        maxpromoteday 10000
        strategy STANDARD
        compress CLIENT FAST
        comprate 0.50 0.50
        auth BSD
        kencrypt NO
        holdingdisk YES
        record YES
        index YES               <== setting of interest
        skip-incr NO
        skip-full NO
