But I think the problem is deeper: if it is indeed that on this machine rewind flags success too early, or that subsequent requests do not block until the rewind is completely finished, then I believe amlabel will have the same problem: it writes the label, rewinds, and verifies if the label was written correctly.
Just a dumb question, as I didn't follow the whole thread: Did you check for scsi errors in the syslog? I ask that because I had a somewhat similar problem with a LTO-3 drive attached to a linux box via an Emulex Fibre Channel card. Due to a bug in the processing of tagged scsi commands, the tape ejected after some time with an io error. Moving to a recent kernel fixed the problem. These symptoms also sound like a problem on the scsi or driver level.
Just my € 0.01, though... Cheers, Albrecht.
