Jim, this may indeed account for what I was seeing. Even after verifying that I had written an XF-NL tape, TAPEMAP reported 38K once I re-wrote a label. But I verified the amount of data/length of tape was identical to when it reported XF.

Aren't tape labels written at the "least common denominator" that a drive is capable of writing? If the density of a written tape is only checked by looking at the labels, that would explain what you are seeing.
