You don't seem to have a tape in the drive. Use mt -f /dev/nst0 status to see if it's loaded or not. Note that this error could be not related to your problem (we don't know when that error happened, could have been before or while loading the tape).

Can you try hand backups, e.g.
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind tar cvf /dev/nst0 /usr mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind tar --compare -f /dev/nst0 /usr # or something like this
if this works (do it after manual tape insertion, and only when mt -f /dev/nst0 status reports tape online, like this:
drive type = Generic SCSI-1 tape drive status = 251658752 sense key error = 0 residue count = 0 file number = 0 block number = 0 Tape block size 512 bytes. Density code 0xf (QIC-120 (GCR 10000 bpi)). Soft error count since last status=0 General status bits on (41010000): BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN ^^^^^^ ) then your bug is presumably in BRU. PS: you specified 2.2.10 kernel. Does that mean this problem doesn't happen with e.g. 2.0.36 ? In that case, the above might not help.
