My attempt to restore files with amrecover keep failing since I upgraded

My first question then is, what are the permissions of /dev/ait2,
and what are the user/group you are using for starting amidxtaped in
(x)inetd.
This makes no sense to me since I was able to recover the files using
amrestore on the server.
amrestore runs as root, but amidxtaped runs as amanda usually.
If the permissions of /dev/ait2 are group readable, maybe you need
to add groups = yes in xinetd.conf to enable the additional groups
that user amanda is in.
