Without knowing the details, this does not look too good.  It appears more 
like a bug than a tape problem, but if I were you I would resolve the problem 
before relying on the changer.  Possibly part of the problem is that you have 
edited the output rather than presenting everything so I cannot see 
everything.

In any case, btape should not be getting this kind of error.  At a first 
glance, it looks like btape attempted to write on the tape after re-reading 
the last block, which is not what it normally does -- I suspect this is 
because you edited the messages.  In any case, with the little snipit of 
output it is impossible to get an idea of what is causing the problem.
