Sorry again.

Here it is:

amidxtaped: debug 1 pid 14662 ruid 33 euid 33: start at Mon Aug 29 15:45:33

amidxtaped: time 0.001: Ready to execv amrestore with:
path = /usr/sbin/amrestore
argv[0] = "amrestore"
argv[1] = "-h"
argv[2] = "-p"
argv[3] = "DailySet104"
argv[4] = "^server$"
argv[5] = "^/var$"
argv[6] = "20050825"
amrestore: could not stat DailySet104: No such file or directory

In a previous message you said you "loaded the tape manually".
OK, these are vtapes.  How did you load the tape "manually".
How did you do that?

The above strongly suggest that you did to amrecover something
like:  settape DailySet104
That's wrong.

amidxtaped: time 0.006: amrestore terminated normally with status: 2
amidxtaped: could not stat DailySet104: No such file or directory
amidxtaped: time 0.006: could not stat DailySet104: No such file or
directory
amidxtaped: time 0.006: pid 14662 finish time Mon Aug 29 15:45:33 2005

But in the original mail, you stated these commands:

amrecover> extract

Extracting files using tape drive file:/backup/config on host backup.
The following tapes are needed: DailySet104

Restoring files into directory /amanda
Continue [?/Y/n]? y

Extracting files using tape drive file:/backup/config on host backup.
Load tape DailySet104 now
Continue [?/Y/n/t]? y
EOF, check amidxtaped.debug file on backup.
amrecover: short block 0 bytes
UNKNOWN file
amrecover: Can't read file header
extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1
Continue [?/Y/n]? y

That strongly makes me believe too, that the two sessions are not
from the same run, and that the two command sequences have different
error causes.

Are you sure the "file:/backup/config" directory is the root
directory of the chg-disk environment (i.e. with the slotX directories
below it?
