What's your SCSI adapter?
I've a similar problem with a Seagate DDS-4. It does all that I want,
but the first operation after the rewind following tape insertion has
to be a write. The funny thing is that I get the data and the SCSI
error when I simulate amcheck. So I amlabel -f every tape with its old
name directly after insertion into the drive.
I use a Vortex RAID controller and I recieved the newest drivers from
their support. I didn't have time to compile a new kernel yet.

I'd subscribe. You get answers for the questions you'll ask some weeks
later :-)
