I have a HP 6000E DAT Tape drive.  It's recongnized upon startup, and I can manage it via mt.  The only problem is dump.  When I run the dump program with the command line:

dump 0uf /dev/st0ctl.0 /usr/home

I get the error 'DUMP: bad sblock magic number'.  I can use the tape drive fine with tar.  Any ideas?
