Assuming that you do have volume one mounted, here is something from the frecover man page which might help:
<I>
Care should be taken to match the names specified by the include and exclude options with the names in the index on the tape. Since the files are stored on the backup in lexographic order as defined by the LANG or LC_COLLATE environment variable, frecover uses the exact path names to determine when a partial recovery is complete, and when an earlier tape needs to be loaded. If a user's specification of a file to be recovered is misspelled, this may cause confusing messages, such as frecover asking for the previous volume, when volume one is mounted.

virecover
VIRECOVER(8) BSD System Manager's Manual VIRECOVER(8)
NAME
virecover -- report recovered vi edit sessions
SYNOPSIS
/usr/libexec/virecover
DESCRIPTION
The virecover utility sends emails to users who have vi(1) recovery files.
This email gives the name of the file that was saved for recovery and instructions for recovering most, if not all, of the changes to the
file. This is done by using the -r option with vi(1). See the -r option in vi(1) for details.
If the backup files have the execute bit set or are zero length, then they have not been modified, so virecover deletes them to clean up.
virecover also removes recovery files that are corrupted, zero length, or do not have a corresponding backup file.
virecover is normally run automatically at boot time using /etc/rc.d/virecover.
FILES
/var/tmp/vi.recover/recover.* vi(1) recovery files
/var/tmp/vi.recover/vi.* vi(1) editor backup files
SEE ALSO
vi(1), rc.conf(5)
HISTORY
This script, previously known as recover.script, is from nvi and was added to NetBSD in 1996. It was renamed in 2001.
