I have a ADR30 and have similar problems.
The "Input/output" errors seemed to go away for me once I used amlabel
to label the tape. In other words, it seemed to give the errors only
when the tape had never been written to.
As for ejecting the tape, my solution has been to try multiple
"mt rewind" commands. When I press the eject button, the light flashes
but then nothing happens. But if I do a few "mt rewind" commands, then
the eject button works.
