As others have pointed out you hit EOT, probably because you were using 
hardware compression
on already compressed data.

Possibly met055 is a bad tape, or you may need to add a sleep in your changer 
script. It
takes awhile for most changers to unload and load a new tape.  I had to add 
some sleep
time to mine to keep from getting I/O errors trying to read the label while the 
new
tape was still being loaded.
