In case this may be related, sometimes when I am successful in
extracting/recovering a file, amrecover stalls. When I wait awhile, I see in a
different terminal that the file has been recovered, but I don't get the
"amrecover>" prompt back and I need to ^C to quit.

Maybe the tar or dump process that is doing the actual recovery simply hasn't finished yet. It doesn't stop after having recovered the file you requested, it goes through the entire backup image in any case. With big backup images this may take some time.

Unfortunately I don't know what might be causing your main problem (some files missing from amrecover listing). If you describe your environment in more detail (are you using dump or tar? which version of tar? is samba involved? etc?) then someone else on the list may be able to help you.
