Huh, maybe this is a misdiagnosis of the end of tape and a write error 
only in the sense that there is no tape left.

05-Sep 00:41 SD_L100_ JobId 389348: Error: block.c:255 Write error at 
610:412 on device "L100-Drive-0" (/dev/L100-Drive-0). ERR=Input/output 
error.
05-Sep 00:41 SD_L100_ JobId 389348: Re-read of last block succeeded.
05-Sep 00:41 SD_L100_ JobId 389348: End of medium on Volume "IM0161" 
Bytes=1,090,307,051,520 Blocks=520,103 at 05-Sep-2014 00:41.
