This bug was fixed in version 5.0.3. Its not about EOD marks but the
catalog thinking there is 1 more file on the tape than it has recorded
in the database. You have to correct this in the database to fix the
inconsistency. Then mark the tape as append and you should be able to
use the tape. I did that a few times in the past. The logs should
mention this in marking the tape as error.
