I am certain it is the correct volume. Here are the two commands I issue
prior to restore:

# mt -f /dev/nrsa0 rewind
# mt -f /dev/nrsa0 fsf 3

If I issue
# restore -tf /dev/nrsa0 > files.text
then files.text contains the Employment directory and it's contents.

To create the tape, I use BackupThisSystem script:

#!/bin/sh
for filesys in / /var /usr /usr/newdrv
do
   dump -0au -f /dev/nrsa0 $filesys
done
mt -f /dev/nrsa0 rewind
mt -f /dev/nrsa0 offline

I hope this is what you are asking for regarding the file systems
attached:
/dev/da0s1a             /
/dev/da0s1f             /usr
/dev/da0s1e             /var 
/dev/da1c               /usr/newdrv

Thanks,
Greg
