The fix =yes is to correct DB inconsistencies, not repair damaged media or bad drives. Have you tried a different drive ?
I had the same problem with an Exchange restore, it would fail with read errors during the restore. Even though my drives were not requesting a clean I ran a new cleaning tape through and the tape read fine. This is not always the case, sometimes media is damaged.

I am running Storage Management Server for Windows - Version 4, Release 2, Level 2.13 and have a read error on a particular volume for a particular file.
