Do you have "index yes" in the dumptype used for that disk?

At the amrecover prompt, try the following:
sethost host
where 'host' is the name of the host whose data you are trying to restore,
exactly like it is in the disklist.  Then,
setdisk diskname
where 'diskname' is the name of the filesystem as it appears in your disklist
file.
Then see if you can 'cd' and 'ls' and see your files.  If so, then you can
'add' what you want to restore and after you're finished adding things you
give the 'extract' command to restore.
