When you say "that seems to work", do you mean it fixes amrecover, or
just that the sed commands do edit the lines in the amanda.conf file?
As far as I understand, amrecover looks at amanda-client.conf (and not
amanda.conf), so to get amrecover to work without the "-d" command line
option you'd need to do do some editing of the -client file.
(But given that the official Debian packages work the way you want
without any -client file at all, I'm thinking that it makes sense to
simply comment out the tapdev line in the -client file, rather than edit
it to make it match the amanda.conf file [though as long as the two
lines are in sync the net effect is probably the same].)
