Hi,

I'm no stinit.def whiz but you're specifying compression and then
specifying the uncompressed density code of 88. Try changing the density
setting to compressed: 0x89.

You will also need to "reformat" the media by using tar or dd to
overwrite the header of the tape: dd if=/usr/bin of=/dev/nst0

Once you've done this try relabelling with Networker again & see how you
get on.
Cheers,
John
