In my messages file in /var/log/ I'm getting the following: kernel: st0: MTSETDRVBUFFER only allowed for root I don't know how to resolve this problem. Any assistance would be
appreciated.

Well, I'm going to ask the obvious since you didn't cut and paste your prompts:

Are you logged in as root when you execute the mt commands?

Tape drives often have unusual permissions on their /dev entries. In addition, for devfs I seem to recall that you have to edit some file to set the permissions rather than doing a direct chmod on the entry.
