Problems with restore on Exabyte.

[Jim Cottrell]

Multiple dumps on an Exabyte tape unit are causing problems - or rather
restore is.

Skipping intervening dumps using mt -f /dev/nrrt0 fsf x works for small
dump files, (I've tested it at 20-30M) but large dumps 75+M, fails giving
the error:

/dev/nrrt0 fsf x failed: I/O error

Any help, pointers, etc would be appreciated.
