What happens if you switch the order of lines so that the first line
is e.g., the second?

You can run 'amrecover' on the client.  It should give the same error messages.

On a completely unrelated topic, I'd like to know whether your SCO
system uses POSIX tapes or the old "uware" driver.  Can you run
  grep 'tape-.*\.c' device-src/Makefile
and send me the result?  I'm considering removing native uware (and
aix and xenix) support, since most systems have POSIX these days, and
since we don't have a way to test these other systems.
