Peter/Corinna, Well, it was an ID-10-T error. A reboot solved the problem. Evidently, Cygwin requires a reboot on W2K before all functionality is available. I assumed, since I was reading the drive and able to get status information, that a reboot was unneccesary. After rebooting the server, the drive was fully accessible and I had no further errors reading tapes created on the Linux system.
Thanks for taking the time assist.
