What do you see when you run this command as root:
su amanda -c "amadmin <configname> find <clientcomputername>
<filenameyouwanttorestore>"
Is it, in fact, listed as being backed up to the tape you're using?
Is the tape rewound? (sounds stupid, but this has gotten me before...)
Is this dump or tar? If tar, are you using a good version? A crappy version of
tar leaves gibberish in your index file and it won't give you an error on
backup and it won't find file on restore.

Do you use multiple tapes per run? If so, maybe this is the
last file attempted for this tape before it filled. In that
case, I think the complete file would be the first file on
the next tape.
