Does that error come instantly or does it take a while? I suppose it
takes a while because there are so many "type 8" messages?

Do you get any messages in your system logs? Maybe there's some problem
with the tape? I'd try to archive to an intermediate file first, then
see whether I can copy that to tape.
BTW: I'm using a custom script to do the archiving since I've got a lot
of hosts to archive and want some control over the time that takes.
Apart from that, I'm using Bacula to write everything to tape.
