I get this every time I perform a dump on a non rewinding device, and
then start another tape write (on a SLR tape).

Doing a "mt eom" between commands makes the error go away, but I
couldn't figure out what's wrong... why was the tape frozen?

Possibly the tape drive needs cleaning, or the tape is bad.
