Looks like you have already retrieved the files you needed, but to
(attempt to) answer your original question:
>From the above transcript you appear to be running amrecover on coyote,
but trying to change the local directory to "/home/pi".... but I assume
that directory only exists on picnc, right?
(Note that you actually do seem to have successfully set the amrecover
"extraction source directory" to /home/pi on the "picnc /" disk; the
error came when you tried to use the "lcd" command to set the extraction
destination directory.)
If you were running amrecover on picnc it might make sense to recover
directly in-place, but presumably since you are extracting on coyote you
would want to create a temporary working directory to hold the recovered
directory tree, run the amrecover session from within that temporary
directory, then copy/move the files you need from that directory tree
over to the appropriate locations on picnc....
