I've just placed a copy of our Linux tape mount DVM and Linux client on sinenomine.net for download. This is a minimialist version of a more sophisticated (and commercially supported) offering that allows a Linux guest to cooperate with a VM-based tape management system (including all the major vendor's offerings plus the built-in VM tape support) and use both the VM and Linux tools to do reasonable tape management.
This version includes only the support for the VM native tape functions; a commercial-quality supported version with lots of other neat features and full documentation is available for a fee. Please contact me off-list if you're interested in that version. You can download the code from: http://www.sinenomine.net/vm/tapemount The file is a compressed tar archive meant to be unpacked on a Linux system. Bugs, questions and comments should be sent to deb390 (at) sinenomine.net.
