???
The first thing when disaster strikes is take a cup of coffee.
Then take a deep breath.
Then proceed. Slowly.
You probably mean amrestore works, amrecover does not.

It does not seem like a samba backup, does it?
"setmode tar" is to force a restore with tar instead of smbclient.
No need to use "setmode tar" for a real gnutar backup.
But fine, "forcing a restore with tar" works too for a real gnutar
backup.

What is in the amidxtaped.debug file.
In 99% of these problems there is the simple message: "not at start
of tape".
If yes, you need to rewind the tape (or position the manually just
before the image to be extracted). This is a requirement for
any tape, even a virtual tape, e.g.:
amtape file:/backup/config rewind
Alternatively, you may add two options to amanda.conf, so that amanda
does the rewind (and fast positioning) for you:
amrecover_do_fsf yes
amrecver_check_label yes

How did you "load the manually" when it's a virtual tape?
Probably it just happened that virtual tape DailySet106 was rewound,
but tape DailySet104 was not rewound.

On the tapeserver in AMANDA_DBGDIR directory:
amadmin xx version | grep DBG
