I'm trying to recover some files from a virtual tape setup. I get:

--------------------------------------------------
amrecover> extract

Extracting files using tape drive charlesc on host charlesc.
The following tapes are needed: DailySet1_10
                                DailySet1_15

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

Extracting files using tape drive charlesc on host charlesc.
Load tape DailySet1_10 now
Continue [?/Y/n/s/t]? y
amrecover: short block 0 bytes
UNKNOWN file
amrecover: Can't read file header
amrecover: Extractor child exited with status 1

extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1
Continue [?/Y/n/r]? 
--------------------------------------------------

The data symlink is pointing to the correct virtual tape. Judging by
file names there, that is the correct tape to look at. Ideas?
