Sorry, the -s and -f flags are not useful in b20.1

BTW: When you use _any_ command with tape io you have to use
the mount point instead of the native path:

    mt -f /dev/st0 rewoffl
    dd if=/dev/st0 of=/dev/null

or sth. else.

tar and mt from ftp.franken.de are using /dev/st0 by default.

Corinna
