I use /dev/nst0 here

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I think Random Access must be No for a tape drive.

Although your problem does not appear to be a timeout issue, consider adding:

# following all default to 5min (300sec)
   Maximum Open Wait = 1800;
   Maximum Changer Wait = 1800;   #give mtx-changer time to load and come READY
   Maximum Rewind Wait = 900;     #I'd rather wait than get a timeout
