There is an implied rewind when you use the st0 device as
opposed to the nst0 device. The number to fsf is how
many to skip, so this should be at the 3rd tape archive.

Are there 3 archives? What happens if you just do
tar -t's to read through them in order? You can do
an extra one to skip each of the end-of-file marks.
I generally don't trust tape drives to write multiple
files unless they are all done in one sitting to the
nst0 device with no intermediate positioning.
