Top posting is such a pain in continuing a conversation.

Chuck, your old posts showed this in your scripts:
if ...
then su -c "/usr/sbin/amcheck MonthlySet"
else su -c "/usr/sbin/amcheck DailySet1"
So you are using two amanda configs, have two sets of logs,
have two sets of indexes. One is the default, DailySet1.
Guess which of the two configs, logs, and indexes this amrecover
command that you showed us tries to use?
> root@myserver:/ # amrecover -s myserver.smtl.co.uk -t myserver.smtl.co.uk
The default of course, you did not tell it any different.
Unless I missed something as I did in earlier posts today :)
