I had a problem like this. The logfile gave me a clue:
(sa0:dpt0:0:0:0): unable to backspace over one of double filemarks at end of tape
(sa0:dpt0:0:0:0): it is possible that this device needs a SA_QUIRK_1FM quirk set for it
(sa0:dpt0:0:0:0): tape is now frozen- use an OFFLINE, REWIND or MTEOM command to clear this state.
(sa0:dpt0:0:0:0): unable to rewind after test read
Looking through LINT, there is no mention of SA_QUIRK_1FM but it does have
a SA_1FM_AT_EOD option which I compiled into my kernel. It works now :-)
I have a:
dpt0: <DPT SCSI Host Bus Adapter> at 0x2c00-0x2cff, irq 15 (level)
dpt0: on eisa0 slot 2
dpt0: DPT PM2022A/9X FW Rev. 05B0, 1 channel, 64 CCBs
controlling a:
sa0 at dpt0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
sa0: <EXABYTE EXB-8200 2618> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-CCS device
Good luck...
