Yes I am. Sorry, when I say "rewind" it is only backtracking for maybe one second or so to search for the end of the data, ready to append again. It is proper "shoe-shining", the drive behaves exactly the same if I write data to it with another application but write too slowly. Eventually the drive stops, rewinds a little, then gets ready to go again when more data comes through.
