DLT to Tape

Hi,
I have a DLT on one server and DDS3 on another one. I want to duplicate DLTs to the Tapes by using these systems. DLTs are backed up with fbackup. I have tried to use dd on local system(having DLT driver) and rsh dd on remote system(havind DDS3 driver). Firstly I read(by order) 1k,1k,2k,2k,1k,1k to pass the header stuff of DLT by using "dd if=/dev/rmt/0mn bs=1k | remsh remote_machine dd of=/dev/rmt/0mn bs=1k" and changing bs parameter as said above.
After header stuff, by
"while true; do
dd if=/dev/rmt/0mn bs=16k 2>/tmp/errfile | remsh 172.16.1.40 dd of=/dev/rmt/0mn bs=16k
done"

I tried to cp rest of the DLT to DSS3 tape. But it gives error:
"dd read error: I/O error
0+0 records in
0+0 records out"
And the DDS3 tape is invalid as frecover tells.
Are there any other ways to do this or where am I wrong?
regards,
