heh, I found a file called "info", which said:
position 30
I changed it to say "position 1" and it worked! Hopefully this wouldn't
mess it all up...

Try:
ammt -f file:/the/path/to/fake/tape rewind
You can also add these two directives to amanda.conf:
amrecover_do_fsf yes # this implies a rewind
amrecover_check_label yes
(I'm not sure if this command already existed in 2.4.3; there was at
least a little bug that implied that you need both, or it wouldn't
work.)
