I'm a little confused as to what exactly happened.  Was your 2.4.2p2 
install using /var/log/amanda/$config as the logdir and 
/var/lib/amanda/$config/index as the indexdir?  And then /var/log/amanda 
got erased?

If that's the case, I think you're out of luck.  I believe that amrecover 
needs the logfiles to locate the proper indices and/or tapes.  You can 
still look at 'em by hand, though.
