[flexbackup-help] Ioctl error

Hi, I've run both -set and -dir backups on a Dell PV100T DAT72 drive.  During the backup, I get 'afio: x bytes written.  The operation was successful.'  But after that, I see  'mt: /dev/st0:  Inappropriate ioctl for device'
 
I get the same error when I try to restore.  And whatever I try to restore doesn't appear to be written back onto the disk.  I don't know if this helps, but if I do -toc, I get an error, but '-toc all' will show the tape contents.
 
Thank you,
 
Chad
