I'm wondering if I need to try something other than Ubuntu 22.04.
Have you checked the tape cartridge is writeable?
Have you checked the entire device chain is writeable?
Simpler test: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/nst bs=1024 count=1024
And you shouldn't use the 'z' option to "tar" when testing, in this case
it is harmless but it is a bad habit.
