I have tried other tapes -- but they all give the same problem.
When you say "it appears that the transfer has completed", do you mean the
block has been written or that the transfer was completed? if the latter I
have found that it seems to write the first 20 blocks of any transfer
(that is I can read these off the tape later) but after that just stops.
Is there anything else I can try?
cheers

Have you tried a different tape? From the dump, it appears that the
transfer has completed, but that the tape drive has not changed
phase to complete the command. If there is a media error and our
timeout is set shorter than the retry timeout on the drive, you'll
get these kinds of errors.
