Re: fbackup through sam
Perhaps you filled the first tape.
I see no description of the system where you
did this. Output from "uname -a" would be a
nice start.

This does not seem to me to be a very
complete explanation of what you did.

Does this tape drive have different density
and/or compression options? Which ones did
you specify?
Did you start with a blank tape?

and refer to Bill Hassell's remarks regarding a config file (or the lack thereof). You need to be able to keep the drive streaming and write fewer / bigger blocks.
Also, see my remarks about the impending demise of fbackup (it's being obsoleted).
Fbackup always rewinds the tape and starts at the begining, so you *should* be getting more that ~260MB on it. If you've got lots of bad spots, or lots of record gaps, that will reduce capacity.
What happens if you clean the drive and use a new (or known good) tape.

Re: fbackup through sam
If you happen to be using an LTO2 (200 GB) or LTO1 (100 GB) tape, then that would explain your problem as well.
