Ah, Hadn't spotted that Dustin had sent a personal reply as well as posting
to the list (why do this?), so my response went via private mail. 

So for the benefit of continuity on the list:

Well, indeed; thanks for your reply. 

However, I did say, but perhaps wasn't sufficiently clear, mt and dd work
fine with that device, and I have now retrieved an Amandsa backup by that
route. It certainly exists, and works.

Cheers, Tony
