amrecover is trying to run 'restore', and it can't find it.  IIRC, the 
restore program is run on the tape server.  So Solaris doesn't have a 
restore compatible with Linux's dump.  There's a shock.

The easiest way to get your data would be to 'amrestore' the image off the 
tape, ship it to the Linux box, and run restore on the dump image.
