I don't know. But I get a similar problem with a DDS3 DAT tape and
"restore" when I try to restore to partitions from the same tape:

restore rf $TAPE -> first partition
restore rf $TAPE -> error
restore rf $TAPE -> second partition

IIRC I could work arround the problem by using "mt fsf 1" after the
first "restore". But I'm not sure because it has been a long time
since I restored a complete system from tape.

	Kind regards
