/dev/nst* : the non-rewind SCSI tape devices
This is true of all tape devices. The ones that are preceeded with an 'n' are
the non-rewind version, and the ones that aren't automatically rewind when the
tape device is closed. So, the problem isn't with mt, it's doing exactly what
it is suppossed to do. The problem is with the device you are accessing the
tape through.
