The error message likely means that the tape device had more than one command outstanding at once (i.e. one command was sent while the current command was still pending). It could also mean that a tag got re-used (same tag issued while command with that tag was outstanding) but for a tape I think the former is more likely. Is the queue depth set to one for the device?
