I think Giovanni wants to recover a file without even knowing the path
...

If this is the case I would simply use something like

# zgrep -R pippo.sh <indexdir>/<hostname>/*

Example:

root@oops1:/usr/adm/amanda/daily/index/oops1 # zgrep -R amdump */*
[...]
_home_Amanda/20050504_0.gz:/amanda-2.4.5b1-20050406/man/amdump.8
_home_Amanda/20050505_0.gz:/amanda-2.4.5b1-20050406/man/amdump.8
_home_Amanda/20050506_0.gz:/amanda-2.4.5b1-20050406/man/amdump.8
[...]

which would give me back the information of DLE and date (inside path
and filename of the found files).

In the example I have dumps of amdump.8 for 2005-05-04, 2005-05-05 and
2005-05-06 on DLE /home/Amanda ...

After that I could use this information inside amrecover to find the
proper tape.

Basically the same procedure as Alex has described already, just with
more words :)
