cygwin1 troubles


Hi,
 
I'm trying to use cygwin1 with tape/tar support with a SCSI Quantum DLT tape drive running under NT 4.0.
 
tar tvf /dev/rmt0
 
will list the contents of the tape (a tar archive), but when I try to extract or list specific file names, as in
 
tar xvf /dev/rmt0 file1.bz2
tar tvf /dev/rmt0 file1.bz2
 
for files that are on the tape, the tape just reads to eot and then rewinds.
 
output of mount is:
 
Device           Directory           Type        Flags
tape0            tape                native      text!=binary
Tape0            /tape0              native      text!=binary
tape0            /mnt/tape           native      text!=binary
\\.\tape0        /dev/rmt0           native      text=binary
d:               /d                  native      text!=binary
c:               /c                  native      text!=binary
C:               /                   native      text!=binary
 
Any ideas as to what I can do to get the files off this tape?
 
Thanks.
 
Adam
