That was indeed the problem! Leaving off the trailing "/" makes "setdisk"
commands work, and by using "settime" I can get listings of the files
available on my various tapes.
I use tcsh, and use the TAB key to autocomplete path/filenames all the time,
including on this command line ("amrecover /da[TAB]mm[TAB]/ca[TAB]"). I
note that TAB also autocompletes from the "amrecover>" prompt as well, and
includes the trailing "/" for you.
It's a bummer that
(A) such a subtlety completely escaped me.
(B) amanda's authors didn't put in a little test for trailing slashes.
(C) the handy autocomplete at the "amrecover>" prompt includes the
trailing slash, even though amanda doesn't want it.
(D) all of the above.
Thanks Jay!
