dd question

Every so often, I'll run the following command to quickly see which amanda tape
is currently in my tape drive:
# dd if=/dev/nst0 bs=32k
Most of the time, I'll get the header information, but every so often I have to
run the command twice for the system to successfully read the tape. i.e.:
bash$ dd if=/dev/tape bs=32k
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
bash$ dd if=/dev/tape bs=32k
AMANDA: TAPESTART DATE 20180319 TAPE SIMNET-02
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
Any idea why this happens?
