I've successfully put multiple volumes on a backup tape, but I can't seem 
to get the mt command to advance to the second set once I've rewound the 
tape.  I've tried

mt -f /dev/st0 fsf 1
mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf 1
mt -f /dev/st0 fsr 1
mt -f /dev/nst0 fsr1
mt -f /dev/st0 fss 1
mt -f /dev/nst0 fss 1

In all cases the command prompt returns immediately and the tape is still 
at the beginning.

Server specifics:

RedHat 5.2
HP DAT40i (DDS-4) tape drive, SCSI
mt-st-0.5-1

Have I missed something or does this command not work with all tape drives?
