After a quick look over your configuration...

... have you tried the tests with "BSF at EOM = no"? My understanding is
that an incorrect setting here should give you the results you see.

Perhaps you should verify that you need the above; if you do - i.e., if
your OS / tape driver understand only an EOM that consists of two EOFs
(and I'm not sure how solaris handles that) than better don't try my
above suggestion :-)

Looks like it.

Not much beyond the debug output. You will need a pretty high debug
level for the SD to follow the SDs tape activity, IIRC.
Any many thanks for a really informative bug report!
