Eureka!

    # sudo mt -f /dev/nst0 status
    SCSI 2 tape drive:
    File number=0, block number=0, partition=0.
>>  Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x81 (DLT 15GB compressed).
    Soft error count since last status=0
    General status bits on (41010000):
     BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN

Changed /etc/stinit.def:

    manufacturer=EXABYTE model = "VXA-2" {
        auto-lock
        can-bsr
        can-partitions
        mode1 blocksize=32768 compression=0
    }

Now:

    # sudo mt -f /dev/nst0 status
    SCSI 2 tape drive:
    File number=0, block number=1, partition=0.
    Tape block size 32768 bytes. Density code 0x81 (DLT 15GB compressed).
    Soft error count since last status=0
    General status bits on (1010000):
     ONLINE IM_REP_EN

And:

    # sudo -u backup amlabel -f DailySet1 backup.001
    rewinding, reading label backup.001, tape is active
    rewinding, writing label backup.001, checking label, done.
