It might be good to upgrade to 1.38 or even 1.39 (soon to become 1.40) as 1.36 is rather old by now. Apart from any improvements and new features, support for 1.36 will become more and more difficult as less people run it. > All the hardware is new or previously unused. > The btape test command completes without error, and the autochanger test > also works fine.

That's quite clear, I think. Check that you've got a good cable and terminator. Don't run the tape and disk drives on the same SCSI channel, and make sure all plugs are properly connected. ... > I'm a bit lost, as I'm new to tapedrives on linux.

Looks like a SCSI problem. The system log might have more information.
