Just a remark about the

>>   Media Type = 8mmAIT-2 # (what is this supposed to be set to??)

You could insert what you want here. In fact it's mainly use when concurrent 
jobs are running.
But what important is that this param is ask during restore ( using bls, bscan 
and other tools )

So If you want to be generic you could use Type=Tape0 ( Tape1 if you buy 
another ... )
But you can run with what you've wrote.
