I believe your problem is that you are using the wrong device file
for a scsi tape drive. You should be able to access your DAT drive
through one of the ns* or nst* device files. If this is the only
drive on your bus, I believe it will be st0, for a rewinding device,
or nst0, for a non-rewinding device.
