Hi Guys,
I am running amanda on a linux cluster. The backup reports no errors but
when I try to restore amanda tells me that the requested file is not on
the tape (It should be there since I can see it with the "ls" command
under amrecover). Following is the amidxtaped.debug report:

What went wrong?
Thanks for your help.
