Aha!
Look in the chg-manual script for a line like this:
$DD if=$tape count=1 >> $logfile 2>&1
Try changing it to this:
$DD if=$tape bs=32k count=1 >> $logfile 2>&1
Let me know if that takes care of the problem and I'll make the change
"official" (and look for any other similar "mistakes").
Without the "bs=32k", dd defaults to 512 bytes, which would certainly
cause the message you're seeing.
Thanks for bringing this up and providing just the right information
to (hopefully) fix it.

My first response was triggered by your E-mail to the list, so it appears
to be working. I know the list went through some ISP changes recently,
and things have been a bit shaky since then, but I'm pretty sure the
administrator is working on it. I'll forward your note just to be sure
he's aware.
