We've run into a lot of those type errors, as well as messages that the
tape isn't properly inserted, etc.
The solution is a wierd one, although it works. What we've done is put
the tape drive on it's own scsi host adapter. The problems have
disappeared completely. We've done this to 5 machines, uning eithe
NTBackup or Arcada Backup Exec.
