Dustin - thanks for checking up on me!

I've been trying to get an older version by getting the history and
selecting a full backup - so I do 


history
200- Dump history for config "laptops" host "mlb-laptop.imparisystems.local" 
disk /home/mlb/ImpariSystems

201- 2010-02-05-15-02-31 1 laptops-0010:4


In this example, I set the date to 2010-03-06 because I'm assuming that
0 means a full backup - and then I try to extract it and I get:


amrecover> setdate 2010-03-06
200 Working date set to 2010-03-06.

So I tried to retrieve an older version using amfetchdump - so 


amfetchdump laptops mlb-laptop /home/mlb/ImpariSystems 20100303 -O 
/home/mlb/toshiba -l
1 tape(s) needed for restoration
The following tapes are needed: laptops-0017
Press enter when ready

amfetchdump: slot 17: time 20100303090002 label laptops-0017 (exact label match)
Scanning volume laptops-0017 (slot 17)
amfetchdump: 4: restoring FILE: date 20100303090002 host

program /bin/tar crypt enc client_encrypt /usr/sbin/amcryptsimple 
client_decrypt_option -d
gpg: decryption failed: bad key


Since it's happened on almost every backup I've tried, I'm assuming I'm
missing a very important piece of information - so I do think it's a bad
key or I'm missing the public key.  I have another computer that is
backed up the exact same way and I've had no problems recovering files
for that one.
