Has the st.conf definition for the DLT7K changed?  It looks like the
drive has been forced to a 4K block size.

And therefore is unable to read blocks on the media of larger size.

Do you have a copy of your old st.conf from before the upgrade?  Can you
copy the relevant DLT7K lines from your existing one and show them?
