mt and Colorado Jumbo 250 problems

[Will Lowe <harpo@udel.edu>]

I'm trying to use mt to move a tape in my Colorado Jumbo 250 so that I can
put an archive behind the one already on the tape ... I'm using 

mt -f /dev/ftape fsf 1

where /dev/ftape is a symlink to /dev/rft0.  I know the link works ok,
because I use it with tar.

I'm getting 

mt: /dev/ftape: Input/output error

and the tape isn't moving.  Any ideas?
