[daip] tape drive problems

[Joseph Lazio]

Hi,

I just installed a Seagate Scorpion 40 DDS-4 drive on a Linux machine
running 31DEC01.  'mt' commands (like status, fsf, and rewind) all
seem to work fine.  MOUNT within AIPS seems to work fine.  

However, attempts to read data from a tape yield 

EXCALI> FILLM1: Task FILLM  (release of 31DEC01) begins
EXCALI> FILLM1: UV data will be written in compressed format
EXCALI> FILLM1: Shadow flag limit =  2.500E+01 meters.
EXCALI> FILLM1: ZTPWAT: ERROR   6 FOR LUN = 31 IBUFF = 1 TO TAPE
EXCALI> FILLM1: ZERROR: IN ZTPWA2 ERRNO = 5 (Input/output error)
EXCALI> FILLM1: This usually means you're at END-OF-TAPE
EXCALI> FILLM1: TAPIO: ERROR   6  READING FILE
EXCALI> FILLM1: No data found meeting selection criteria!
EXCALI> FILLM1: Read         0 visibilities from  1 files
EXCALI> FILLM1: Appears to have ended successfully
EXCALI> FILLM1: excalibur    31DEC01 TST: Cpu=       0.0  Real=       8

Is there anything specific that has to be done for DDS-4 drives within 
AIPS?
