Might sound strange, but are you sure that you use the non-rewinding
tape-device when using amrecover?

Why would amanda erase what it extracted in this case ? In the worst
case, what I would expect is amanda giving some sort of error instead
I once noticed the behavior that amrecover restored the requested files
(by doing an amrestore in the back) and when it had finished restoring
the related tar-file the usage of the rewinding tape-device caused the
tapedrive to rewind so amrestore found the same tar-file "again" and
started overwriting the already restored directory.
This was particularly annoying at the time I learnt about that:
restoring from the last good tape at a client's site, and this tape was
his last hope ... after a night of shoeshining I noticed the missing "n"
in the devicefile used ;) after all it was a successful restore, yes.
But as I read in the other reply, Francesc uses the proper nonrewinding
device ...
Stefan.
