Tony,

I have "index yes" in amanda.conf.  I just ran:  
/usr/sbin/amrecover -C daily -s backup.rnd.caribbeanblue.com -t 
backup.rnd.caribbeanblue.com -d /dev/nst0

amrecover still produces the same error:  Unexpected server end of file.  

I wish the debug files were more detailed.  What EOF could it be?  

Eric

P.S.  I was in the Corps, but that is another story..
