You might need an mt command here to position the head.

I am not sure what you mean by tablesets. If you mean, files on the tape,
yes, you get two files on the tape. I thought that was what you wanted. If
you want both directories in the same tar file on the tape, use tar to get
them both on the first command:
mt -f /dev/nht0 rewind
tar cf /dev/nht0 /path1 /path2
mt -f /dev/nht0 rewind
tar tvf /dev/nht0
