I don't know if this was the cause or not but:
The machine thames has two IP addresses. One on eth0, the other on eth0:1.
Once I added both addresses to the host file on _both_ machines, amrecover
happily restored the file. I'll admit I have no idea why this should make a
difference, tho.
I am having a permission problem with amrecover that makes no sense to me.
Please cc me on any replies. I am a memebr of the list but I haven't seen any
mail in a while
