Please don't take this the wrong way, but did you read my original mail
correctly?

I'm not having problems restoring to the server (as mentioned in my
email, that _works_ ), I'm having problems restoring to a _client_.

If as you mentioned above was not installed, then I would not be able to
restore to my tape server, but that works perfectly every time, I'm
having problems restoring directly to a client from the client.

Anyway the problem is now fixed, for some strange reason , I woke up
this morning and added exactually what I added last list to the
.amandahosts file on hte tape server, ie:

stimpy.angelnet.internal root

and now it works...weird!.
