thanks! i checked that file and it was warning me about the tape being
rewound (i thought i had checked that...), anyway, i made sure the
tape was cool and everything and tried it again today.  I get
different errors now:

everything in the amidxtaped.<date>.debug looks fine though...:

It looks fine in the debug files... how can i get it to restore?

Thanks,
