Re: tar ?
it may not be positioned at the beginning of the tar file on tape.
Are you sure it is a tar file?
If it was created on some other system, its possible that it was written w/ GNU version and the "compress/zip" option was set. If that's the case, recreate the tape w/o that flag (althought it may be possible to use dd and gzip to read the tape get that sent to tar...I've not tried that though)

Re: tar ?
If you are trying to restore a file from an Ignite recovery tape, then you need to skip the boot image at the tape's beginning:
For recovery tapes made on PA-RISC servers:
# mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn rew
# mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn fsf 1
# tar -xvf /dev/rmt/0mn ...
For recovery tapes made on Itanium servers:
# mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn rew
# mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn fsf 22
# tar -xvf /dev/rmt/0mn ...
Regards!

Re: tar ?
The first command (mt rew) rewinds the tape so you know you are at the beginning. The second command (mt fsf) Forward Spaces File(s) in order to skip over the boot header information on an Ignite tape so that you can restore individual files from it.
