You clipped too much.  Here is the line from your original message:

>>   taper: tape sksp_023 kb 11504832 fm 10 writing file: No space left on 
>> device


It indicates that 10 file marks, "fm 10" were written, one for the
tape header and 9 for the disklist entries successfully written to
the tape.  Then on the 10th DLE it hit end of tape.  At the time it
hit EOT, it had written total (successful plus failed) 11.5 GB.

So that 10th DLE must be huge.
