Backup: The lseek call failed

Hi,

We are facing issues while backing up our 1205 GB filesystem on LTO5 Tape. During backup the "backup: The lseek call failed." messages were generated, I want to know why these messages were generating
AIX version is: 6100-08-00-0000

Code:

backup: The date of this level 0 backup is Mon Mar 11 14:57:59 GMT+05:00 2013.
backup: The date of the last level 0 backup is the epoch.
backup: Backing up /dev/rfslv04 (/backup2) to /dev/rmt0.
backup: 0511-251 The file system is still mounted; data may not be consistent.
        Use the umount command to unmount the filesystem; then do the backup.

backup: Mapping directories. This is Pass 2.
