Actually, that's a warning, not an error.

Right.  Because Networker had successfully labeled it the first time, so
the data on it was readable for the second label attempt.

This warning is coming from the OS.  It appears that instead of an
unlabled tape, this one had data on it with a very large blocksize.  The
"not enough space" message means that the buffer that Networker
allocated was not large enough to hold the entire tape block.
