Problems with amrecover in 2.4.5p1

My attempt to restore files with amrecover keep failing since I upgradedto 2.4.5. The output in amidxtaped.debug looks like:

amidxtaped: debug 1 pid 14962 ruid 250 euid 250: start at Mon Feb 2020:33:06 2006

This makes no sense to me since I was able to recover the files usingamrestore on the server.


The client in the above is 2.4.5p1 the server is 2.4.5
