Was amrecover broken for vtapes in general or only encrypted vtapes?

It's not broken at all, my wrapper was broken.

I
have a vtape setup here but when I try to recover I get the following
message from amrecover:

Extracting files using tape drive file:/l/slots/ on host localhost.

Really?

I also tried using amtape to load the correct "tape" before running
amrecover with the same results. This is not covered in the
HOWTO-FILE-DRIVER distributed with Amanda 2.4.4p3. Am I doing something
wrong?   I can't even find an amidxtaped.debug file.

NO localhost inside disklist. You can easily find dozens of postings inside the archives.

Use FQDNs for your hostnames ...

Just a few days ago I discussed this issue with some others and we agreed on the solution, that future AMANDA-releases should simply drop a big fat error when you use something like localhost or 127.0.0.1 ...

There is a WARNING in recent releases, but this seems not enough ...

("In AMANDA-releases newer than 2004-03-22 there is a WARNING issued ...")
