Hello,
Seems to be an issue with amrecover within a DLE that contain spaces. This particular incident came to light on a volume that is being backed up via TAR. I have not tried to reproduce with Dump. As you can see from the snippets below, the output is being mangled a bit. Dropping off leading characters. If you know what the file structure is suppose to be, you can cd down into the dir by specifying it's real name. Extraction and recovery seems to work as well. I ended up just extracting the whole directory above where the issue starts. All files were recovered successfully. Just thought I'd throw it out for the developers to see.

I'm a revision behind on 2.5.1p1, so please forgive me if this has been addressed. I'm using GNUtar 1.13.25, on FreeBSD 4.7

amrecover> cd "Operating Plans"
/nfs/snap/NS_Novell/VOL1/RestOfVOL1/NS_Business_Plan/"Operating Plans"
amrecover> ls

2006-11-12-09-12-51 "06 Manager Scorecard/"
amrecover> cd "0506 Operating Plans"
/nfs/snap/NS_Novell/VOL1/RestOfVOL1/NS_Business_Plan/"Operating Plans"/"0506 Operating Plans"
amrecover> ls
2006-11-12-09-12-51 "4 Dept Ops Plan.xls"
2006-11-12-09-12-51 "3 Dept Ops Plan.xls"
2006-11-12-09-12-51 "1 Dept Ops Plan.xls"

A snippet of the Index file shows everything is fine within the file.

/NS_Business_Plan/Operating Plans/0506 Operating Plans/61141 Dept Ops Plan.xls /NS_Business_Plan/Operating Plans/0506 Operating Plans/61151 Dept Ops Plan.xls /NS_Business_Plan/Operating Plans/0506 Operating Plans/61161 Dept Ops Plan.xls /NS_Business_Plan/Operating Plans/0506 Operating Plans/61171 Dept Ops Plan.xls /NS_Business_Plan/Operating Plans/0506 Operating Plans/61212 Dept Ops Plan.xls
