	this problem must be unique to WangDAT or at least non-exabyte 
4mm tape drives.   i use a 4mm for daily backup.  unload the tape with 
"/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/rst0 rewoffl".   load a new tape every morning and 
haev no problems at all.  

	here is my dump.4mm script (the rewind gets the tape started, 
should not be needed but is, alas)

#!/bin/sh
echo "" >> dump.log
echo "" >> dump.log
echo "" >> dump.log
/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/rst0 rewind
/sbin/dump 0unBbf 1200000 10 /dev/nrst0 /dev/sd1a 2>&1 | tee -a  
/root/dump.log
/sbin/dump 0unBbf 1200000 10 /dev/nrst0 /dev/sd1e 2>&1 | tee -a

/sbin/dump 0unBbf 1200000 10 /dev/rst0 /dev/sd1f 2>&1  | tee -a
