It's probably not rewound, you're right. Eject and look at it is hard - there are 50km between me and this tape ;) But I guess it doesn't really matter since it's too much written for beeing at the end and too few for beeing at the beginning. No matter where it starts - it should write until the end and then either rewind (=write another 15GB the next time I try) or stay there (= writing 0B). At least that's what I suspect if it acts logically.
Dumb question, maybe already asked, 1) is any other app using the tape and 2) has anyone checked to make sure the mechanism isn't jamming since you're not there to watch it at all.
