I'm glad I put in all those caveats about .1 possibly being legal in my first post!

Looking at RTM's link, I see that the .1 special file will not rewind upon close. So you would need to rewind the tape before looking at it. Maybe the OP didn't realize that. And maybe smit uses /dev/rmt0 which does rewinds the tape which produces the bahavior that seems correct to the OP.

There are a lot of maybe's in this post... And once again, I do not know AIX.
