The STRANGE warning is solely due to some wacko thing your user dannyb
has down in his qmail delivery directory. It should do no harm,
but you probably want to go clean it out.

So *plenty* of files there, even if amrecover isn't letting you see 'em. :-)
You can amrestore and confirm the data is actually there, that always
makes me sleep better.
amrecover doesn't run 'gtar -tv' on the tape, it just unzips what's in
the index file (under /var/adm/amanda/config_name/index for me). The
most common cause of bad indexes is bad versions of GNU tar. Do:
% /bin/tar --version
You want to see 1.13.19 or 1.13.25. If you don't, build & install 1.13.25
from:
http://www.funet.fi/pub/gnu/alpha/gnu/tar/
MAKE SURE you install it where amanda expects to find it! If your tar
version is already good, I'm out of ideas.

Nothing to do w/your problem, but you might want to try a columnspec:
columnspec
"HostName=0:10,Disk=1:10,OrigKB=1:9,OutKB=1:9,DumpRate=1:7,TapeRate=1:7"
or something similar, makes the summary output nice & pretty.
