Well, I had a look into the straces and it's really weird. Opening the tape device works fine, but calling any of the Win32 tape functions (for instance GetTapeParameter) results in a Win32 error 1, "Incorrect function". I can't change anything in Cygwin to circumvent this and I can't get any further information. It's just this, no Win32 tape access function is working. This is really unexpected. I'm wondering if something's broken in your configuration. Maybe the driver is broken? Perhaps you should try to reinstall it or something.
