At first you had a slash in front of the dev. Now you don't. Which is it really? It makes a big difference. You are doing a v in cvf so it should display the filenames. Are there 30 there...and then only 3 with tvf? Or 3 both times? If 30 during the cvf and 3 during the tvf, which 3??? The first 3? The last 3? 3 random selections? Did you rewind the tape bewteen the cvf and the tvf? If so how? Did you try a cleaning tape?

rpm2cpio
rpm2cpio(1) User Commands rpm2cpio(1)
NAME
rpm2cpio - convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive
SYNOPSIS
rpm2cpio [file.rpm]
DESCRIPTION
The rpm2cpio utility converts the .rpm file specified as its sole argument to a cpio archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no argu-
ment is given, an rpm stream is read from standard input. In both cases, rpm2cpio will fail and print a usage message if the standard out-
put is a terminal. Therefore, the output is usually redirected to a file or piped through the cpio(1) utility.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Converting an rpm file
example% rpm2cpio Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm | cpio -itv
CPIO archive found!
