This is an section of the restore progress log for a test
that was performed today.  All of our other tests were with
multiplexed backups and restore while this test was with
multiplexing turned to 1.

As you can see below the error is a media read error.
We have tried different clients and backups from different
days so a tape error is pretty unlikely.  I am not sure
how to check that the label is "exactly" the same on both
lines of the st.conf other than visually with vi.  sgscan
only shows the label for the drives "QUANTUM SuperDLT1".

10:52:13 (81536.xxx) Media id SD0234 is needed for the restore.
