new problem, amrecover can't find disklist

Greetings all;

I haven't run amrecover for quite a while, and today it claims no host 
I've  named is in the disklist.  The disklist is fine, all there.

So obviously I didn't scratch this puppies ears recently enough.

I did get the last level0 of the /home/gene for that machine out and 
written to a usb key so I think I have the data I need to sneakernet up 
the hill and bring the linuxcnc app to life.

But I'd also like a hint as to what I did wrong.  I was doing it as root 
and I'll bet I should have su'd to amanda or backup from root.

Sometimes I think at 32gigs, this machine has better memory than I ;-)

Cheers, Gene Heskett
