[Dump-users] Restore of a dump -- empty directory?!?!?!

[Bryan D. <bd...@se...>]

I am trying to restore a file from a nightly tape backup (level 0).  I
load the tape into the drive, and fire up restore using:

# restore -i -f /dev/st0

I then move to the directory where the file resides, and add it to my
restore queue:

restore > cd fo2
restore > ls

restore > ls
./fo2

restore > add www-06-02-2005.tar.gz

Then I extract:

restore > extract
You have not read any volumes yet.
Unless you know which volume your file(s) are on you should start
with the last volume and work towards the first.
Specify next volume # (none if no more volumes): 1
Mount volume 1
Enter ``none'' if there are no more volumes
otherwise enter volume name (default: /dev/st0) 
resync restore, skipped 251 blocks

When the restore finishes, I am left with an empty directory fo2
underneath my home directory (for root).  Please help!!
