Thanks for all who responded. It turns out I had it right all along. 
The problem was I didn't think it was working because I was trying
it on the TZ30 in my VAXstation 3140. When I did the 'mt fsf' command
the tape did nothing. Even though the tape didn't move when I did
the 'mt fsf' command it must have queued it up because when I tried
a restore it did move it to the correct location.
