Amrestore knows how to read from the holding disk directly.

Huh? Did you copy it with the Amanda header or not?

So are you saying you just did a cp of the holding disk file to the
MO disk? If so, then the MO must have a normal Unix file system on it
and the dd should have worked, assuming the cp worked. I'd start by
comparing the original and the copy, first by length (ls -l) and then
by bytes (cmp).
