Hi,

It should be \\.\Tape<x>:, where x=0 is the first tape, x=1 the second,
and so on. These are mounted to /dev/<x>.

 $ mount
 ...
\\.\tape1:       /dev/st1            native      no-mixed,text=binary
\\.\tape0:       /dev/st0            native      no-mixed,text=binary
 ...

Unfortunately it doesn't work with the current release.
I don't know why.
