Additionally, make sure that you have ide-tape enabled in your kernel
(either built in, or as a module). Try this:
Place a tape into the drive and type:
mt -f /dev/nht0 status
if this fails, try:
insmod ide-tape
mt -f /dev/nht0 status
if the insmod fails, the mt will also fail, so you'll need to rebuild a
kernel to include the ide-tape driver.
