I followed this sites example of doing a restore
http://homepages.cs.ncl.ac.uk/ncrr/procedures/amrecover.html
Also I got the correct filename/extension as I stated and the path in which
the file was restored was correct as well. So this is what I did to add the
file I wanted for those that wish to see..
amrecover> add vpasswd
Added /**/vpasswd
amrecover> extract
Extracting files using tape drive /dev/st0 on host **.
The following tapes are needed: DailySet15
Restoring files into directory /var/spool/amanda
Continue? [Y/n]: y
