You might want to specify your tape server, index server and tape device when
you run amrecover. Is calvin you tape server or the box you are trying to
recover to, or both? Try running amrecover with the following args:

amrecover -C TwiceAWeek -s {index server} -t { tape server} -d {tape device}

so if calvin is your tape server it would look something like

amrecover -C TwiceAWeek -s calvin -t calvin -d /dev/rmt/0bn   (or whatever
your tape device is)
