Does mt -f /dev/nst0 setblk 32768 give an error? How about mt -f /dev/nst0 setblk 0 (variable block size)? See the "n" answers regarding the ADR2 drives and block sizes here: http://www.linuxtapecert.org/drives.php. This does not inspire confidence, but I don't have one of those drives. Keep playing with it..... maybe try just a simple "1024" for the mt_blksize?
