    actually, i found how to put the desired tape into the active slot of
    the changer. But when i do "amrestore /dev/nst0 lollipop /files1"
    I get
    this:

    amrestore: missing file header block
    amrestore:   2: skipping zoo._.20070419.1.1
    amrestore: missing file header block
    amrestore:   6: skipping marlin._var.20070419.1.1
    amrestore:  10: reached end of information

    What now?
