I'm running LTO1 (HP) von FreeBSD 4.11 wihout any trouble here.
My device config looks a bit different then your's, though I cannot say 
wether your's are really wrong.
Settings marked with (*) are just missing in my config, have a look at 
these.

Did you add
/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/nsa0 seteotmodel 1
to /etc/rc.local? That was necessary for our drive, but your btape tests 
should have failed with a wrong setting, so this might not be it.

Try seeking using mt.
