Could this be a driver issue ? I would verify that
the
tape drive you're using is set up in the SCSI tape

Solaris with an Overland tape drive and I had to edit
and recompile st.c in order to correctly deal with the
drive.
What type of tape drive is it - and which
version/flavor of Linux ?
It's a Kennedy 9610: pretty common. I'm running under Knoppix. Perhaps
not the best choice for this sort of thing, but then all the right device
handles are there, as well as all the same tools you'd use on any flavor
of Linux.
