DOH! Two bad tapes and my own stupidity.
It seems you can not seek on a blank tape. I guess the 'blocks' aren't present until written. : P
As for my two bad tapes they SOMEHOW got that way from me trying to get the seek to work. I even tried bulk erasing the things and I still can not put any data to them.
