I'm still not clear on what type a drive this is. A few drives can read more formats than they can write. For example a DDS 3 drive can read DDS2 tapes and DDS tapes. But the DDS 3 drive that we have cannot write on DDS 2 tapes. So it might be that you the wrong tapes for the drive to write on.
But the most probable answer is that you have a broken tape drive. The drive request a cleaning when a write operation fails that it expected to work. That often fixes the problem when writes fail. But not always.
