Well, I have 5 systems set up to backup to the backup server (datadev). I have run a successful (I think) amdump. amverify seems to think all is well with this tape. However, I haven't figured out how to actually recover anything yet. My amrecover attempt is shown below. I did some searching in the faq-o-matic and saw some references to looking at the /tmp/amanda/amidxtaped debug file, which is not getting created (part of my problem, I would guess).
