I think some people are missing the point!

I beleive that the problem is not to do with tape block size, but why 
is it that the pstcmd (POST COMMAND) has started before the backup 
has completed? 

Are you sure that the scripts are starting before backup is complete, since
it may be just that the networker index is being backed up and not the
oracle datafiles!

(I am also interested in this solution!)
