Is it possible that you have been using the same command on this computer for years and that it has never written to the tape drive because it has always written a file to disc?
I guess that the first thing is to find out whether you have a tape drive fitted, the type of tape drive, what the device name should be, and whether the tape drive works.
A device name ending in "n" normally means "no rewind". Are you attempting to append to a tape or trying to do something else?
