I agree with Gerhard that this sounds like a hardware problem.  But in
addition to the tape drive itself, I'd also check the other usual
suspects:

  * Make sure any DIP switches on the drive or controller are where
    they belong and firmly locked into position.

  * Make sure the cables are firmly attached.

  * If this is SCSI, make sure there is one and only one terminator on
    the bus and that it's at the end of the chain.

  * Make sure you have followed SCSI specs on total bus length (which
    must include "internal" cable lengths), wide vs. narrow ordering, etc.

  * Make sure the controller is firmly seated.
