 I should clarify that I am using "smbtar -t -" and piping that to
 "dd conv=osync" in order to write blocks with the tape drive block size,
 which is a multiple of the tar block size, because the maximum tar block
 size is so small.
 
 I don't think this problem would affect "smbtar -t /dev/nrst0"
