I always get this message when I amlabel a brand new tape. I think it's caused by trying to read an unformatted, unused tape. But, as Paul says, it can also be caused by trying to read the tape too soon after inserting it.
Note that you do get an "input/output error" when amlabel tries to read the (non-existing) old label on a fresh, unused tape. But here the "input/output error" was when trying to rewinding the tape.

Also when I put the next tape in and try to do an "amlabel" I get the error message :
amlabel: tape_rewind: rewinding tape: /dev/nst0: Input/output error
