Question:
According to the man page for amrecover, the settape default is set to /dev/st0 
(my only tape device).

However, when I run amrecover & extract, amrestore program fails.  When I view 
the debug info, I see that amrecover passes a series of parameters to 
amrestore.  But instead of passing the tape device (/dev/st0) to amrestore, it 
passes '0'.

If I re-run amrecover, and specify settape /dev/st0 & then extract, amrestore 
successfully restores the data.

What can I do to correctly set the default settape variable in amrecover to 
/dev/st0?
