Make sure it is 1.13.19 or 1.13.25.  Definitely NOT 1.13!

As Rebecca points out, "amadmin ... find" looks for dump files, not for
disk files archived in the dump files.

To get back individual files, the command to use is amrecover, not
amrestore.  The latter works on entire dump archive files, not on
individual files in the dumps.

I think these are leftover, unneeded, unwanted directories on your
holding disk.  Unless there is something valuable in them, delete them.
