As a follow-up to the above on 2.6.14-gentoo-r5, while trying to
restore an XFS partition off of the tape (amrestore/dd doesn't oops on
this kernel) my dmesg fills with the following:

st0: Error with sense data: <6>st0: Current: sense key=0xb
ASC=0x4b ASCQ=0x0

the command I'm running specifically is:
dd bs=32k skip=1 count=520531 conv=noerror,notrunc if=/dev/nst0 of=fs0restore

As you can see, my backups are not going as well as I had planned.

Thanks again.
