One more item to note.  I attempted to use amrestore instead of amrecover, and
after specifying the command:

amrestore -p /dev/nst0 host.domain /home/public | restore -ivf  -

I got this error:
Input block size is 32
restore: Tape is not a dump tape
Error 32 (Broken pipe) offset 32768+32768, wrote 0
amrestore: pipe reader has quit in middle of file.

Any Ideas?  Why would it error with "tape is not a dump tape"?

Thanks, 
Steve
