Thanks for the response. This is a brand new HP tape drive. All the
tapes are brand new HP LT0-5 tapes, never used before.
Kern, how would I put the drive into "BSD mode"? And how could I tell if
it was in that mode?
I will take a look at the sg logs.

Hello,
On the software side, it is clear that the OS is sending back an EOT
status.
About the only other thing to check before looking at your tape
wiring/controller ... is to be sure you have not put the tape drive
into some
unusual mode such as BSD mode.
I'd also recommend checking the returns from sg_attr and sg_logs
A bad/worn drive can result in _lots_ of rewrites and MAXELL LTO4/5
media is known to damage heads.
