Frank seems to have set you on the correct path, replacing your tar version.
So just a hint about using amrecover.  When browsing it presents the file
tree as it existed on a particular date.  So suppose you accidentally go
looking for a file that was deleted, by mistake, two or three days ago.
If your last level 0 was before that, the file is recoverable, but
when you start amrecover, it shows the file tree as of the last amdump,
i.e., with the file deleted.  To see and extract the file you must
reset the date in amrecover to a date when the file still existed.
