Thanks to everybody who replied. Suggestions mainly focused on either the drive or the media being bad and needing replacement. However, after a two hour trip across the city to the datacentre, the problem turned out to be human error on the part of the NOC staff responsible for changing the tapes! Thanks to Ian Pease John Christian Rodrigo Javier Hernandez Egnen Angelo Bonfieti Junior Rafael Hinojosa Joe Fletcher For their prompt replies and suggestions.
