Thanks for your help! The tapes are 200GB (400GB with compression), so I know that's not an issue.
I've solved the problem though. The drive needed a clean.... Cleaned the drive and all is good. This does seem to be a bit of a daft solution, but it works. Any one got any ideas as to why?

LTO1 drives are really a 100GB drive that with compression sometimes fits 200GB on a tape. For me I rarely get 2:1 as I have uncompressible data on my disks (image files that are already compressed).
