Doh!
The problem is with the tape type; the tape drive is a SDLT 320. This takes SDLT Tape 1 data cartridges, I was using a DLT 4 cartridge which the tape drive will recognise, but only use as READ ONLY. Using SDLT Tape 1 tapes allows the tape to be written to.
However there was only one way to perform the ufsdump:
bash-2.05# mt -f bmsapp01:/dev/rmt/0cbn status
bmsapp01:/dev/rmt/0cbn: No such file or directory
bash-2.05# ksh
# set -o vi
# ufsdump 0fuc - / | rsh bmsapp01 dd of=/dev/rmt/0cbn
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon 12 Jun 2006 04:48:38 PM BST
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
DUMP: Dumping /dev/md/rdsk/d10 (bmsdb01:/) to standard output.
DUMP: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
DUMP: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]

DUMP: Dumping (Pass III) [directories]

DUMP: 56.44% done, finished in 0:07
DUMP: 10872916 blocks (5309.04MB) on 1 volume at 5092 KB/sec
