Re: TAR Error
tar defaults to the primary tape drive on mos systems.
Just in case you have the device wrong, try this:
tar cf /filelist
That might default and write to tape.

Re: TAR Error
You'll want to check with 'mt -f /dev/st0 status' to see if the tape is responding correctly.
If that comes back with an error, you might want to look in '/proc/scsi/scsi' to make sure a 'Sequential-Access' device is listed.
If that fails, then as Mark suggested, check the 'dmesg' command (and if you have one, /var/log/dmesg).
