Scsi tape problems should be discussed in either linux-scsi or linux-tape
list.

Cpio clearly does not like the return value it gets when the second tape
is inserted. To find out what the problem is, you can:
- look at the system logs if there are any messages related to tape
- enable debugging in the SCSI tape driver and see what it prints (either
  from system logs or with the dmesg utility) (you can enable the
  debugging messages by editing the driver source linux/drivers/scsi/st.c
  (#define DEBUG 1) and recompiling the kernel)
