- What did amverify said about that tape?

- Are you sure you have a backup for aacd0s1f on that tape?

- Can you restore to a disk and then see what type of file you get
  from the restore? That would allow you to make faster test with
  gunzip, restore or whatever without reading the tape again and
  again.
