Are you sure the files in question are on that part of the tape? I mean not elsewhere in a multiple-dump backup that might require you to "mt /dev/rsa0 fsf 2" first or something? What are the dump commands that created the tape? (from when it was blank and fully rewound) What's the mount command show for where your filesystems are attached?
