This was right after a rewind?  If so, then that's not an Amanda tape.
Or it cannot be read.

Try this with this tape:

  mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
  dd if=/dev/nst0 bs=32k count=1

This should display the Amanda label.

You're correct that you have to have the right tape mounted before you
run amrestore.  But I think something else is wrong with your tapes.
