My attempt to restore files with amrecover keep failing since I

My first question then is, what are the permissions of /dev/ait2,
and what are the user/group you are using for starting amidxtaped in
(x)inetd.
Sound of palm slapping forhead...That was it.
/dev/ait2 is a symlink to /dev/nst0. I checked the old server and the
permissions there were:
crw-rw-r-- 1 root disk 9, 128 Aug 30 2001 /dev/nst0
On the new server:
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 128 Feb 19 11:53 /dev/nst0
Once I added the global read, amrecover worked again. I don't know how
many time I looked at those permissions wihtseeing the problem.
Thanks
