You can use amtoc to parse your latest logfile:
$ amtoc be/log/log.20010214.0
# Server:/partition date level size[Kb]
0 BE15: 20010214 - -
1 ente:/mp3/2 20010214 1 30
2 james:/boot 20010214 1 17
3 apollo:/ 20010214 1 64
[...]

No, you can't mount tapes. They're just read-/writeable like a terminal
(character device) but you can't read or write a random block like on a
disc (block device).
To store files and directories on them, you have to put your file system
or your subdirectory into a single data stream. That's what dump and tar
are for (tar = tape archive).
To scan the contents of a tape, you can use amrecover:
# amrecover $TAPE no-such-host
It will print the dump/tar images residing on the tape.
