Okay, that was my mistake...I forgot you can't find individual files 
listed...just the disks

you wanted to do su amanda -c "amadmin <configname> find <clientcomputername> 
<disk>"

...that was my fault. 
So it looks like your last level 0 was to DMP004 on 11-23, has the file changed 
since then? Would it have been on the DMP005 or DMP006 tapes level 1?

Can you cut and paste the output of amrecover?

What version of gnu-tar comes with RH7.1? Can you do tar --version and tell me 
what you see?

If I do
su amanda -c "amadmin DailySet1 find node16 /home"
I get

Amanda is set to backup the /home directory on this machine

If I do
su amanda -c "amadmin Dailyset find node16 /home/axel/boot.img"
I get

Scanning /home/amanda...
  20020620: found Amanda directory.
  20020705: found Amanda directory.
  20020706: found Amanda directory.
  20020910: found Amanda directory.

No dump to list

boot.img the file I wanted to restore
