I got my amrestore and amrecovers mixed up when i typed this email.
It is asking for a specific tape. When i does I just open another
session and tell the changer to find the tape.

I don't understand this. because It will ask me the tape to put
in. I can switch to another session and type
I've not used amrestore (thankfully not needed yet).
Is it really asking for a specific tape or is it just asking you to
confirm
that the tape is inserted and ready to go?
It is my understanding that amrestore was written to not need any
information
about an amanda configuration (including changer), nor any other
amanda commands.
It gets all it needs from the command line and from the headers on
the tape it
is restoring.
This is the same behavior I was noticing with amrecover (NOT amrestore).
It would look for the tape but die with the rewind since it seemed to
not wait long enough. Almost as if amrevocer was ignoring the delay
defined in the config file. So I started just manually putting the tape
in and making sure it was rewound before I answered the questions to
restore.
