Thanks all. It was set to ULTRIUM4 and not ULTRIUM4C.

Hi,

Its on you device class definitions.

             Device Class Name: LTO_PRIM
                           Device Type: LTO
                        Format: DRIVE

You can change the default from "drive" to ultrium 4c for forced compression. 
This will only help if you data is not already compressed (being compressed 
data by nature like .jpg/zip etc or due to host based compression).
