Did you ever rewind your tapes? You are using the no-rewind device and
I'm not sure what/if tape drivers ensure the tape is rewound when its
first loaded.

You are specifying the root filesystem only. Is this all you have
(meaning /usr, /home, /var, ... are all on a single filesystem)? Or are
you also dumping your other filesystems to /dev/nrst0?
