My only guess is that it is a kernel issue and you may want to get a more recent kernel. Since you are running a 2.6 kernel, you may benefit from the recent changes. I'm not sure about doing this as I run 'unstable' on my desktop and my laptop which has sarge does not have a 'tape' drive. So maybe someone else on the list could point you to updating to a recent kernel with a sarge system. I'd also suggest going on #debian on irc.freenode.net as they have some good folks who may know even more useful stuff and you get faster replys.
