Help!

Due to some finger trouble, I have contrived to lose some important files,
including configuration, from my server.

The good news is that I have a recent backup on tape, but when I try to
invoke amrecover, i get errors:

[root@tony-lx /]# amrecover SysDumps -d /dev/tape
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.4p1. Contacting server on tony-lx.magpieway.net ...
220 tony-lx AMANDA index server (2.4.4p1) ready.
500 Access not allowed: [access as amanda not allowed from root@localhost]
amandahostsauth failed

My amandahosts contains tony-lx.magpieway.net amanda

tony-lx.magpieway.net root

Reading the error message would indicate you also need

localhost root

in your amandahosts

Let me note that this is also covered by the FAQ:
