I have a tool which compresses individual files in a tar archive instead of the whole archive[1]. That one tries hard to write only in standard 10kb blocks to emulate tar's behavior towards the drive. I'll try in a few days (when I'm back from holidays) if I have this error on my scsi tape too (bad) and if the compression program affects it.
