In addition to what Bernhard mentioned, the various hardware manuals I
have seem to agree that an ASC/ASCQ of 0x0c/0x00 means "write error",
which is basically the drive telling you "I didn't like something,
you figure it out" (hardware engineers are totally useless sometimes :-).
At least one manual suggested cleaning the drive. Have you done that?
You might also try retensioning the tape(s), if that is appropriate for
the type of drive/medium.
