Hmmm, here's another way you could try it.
dd may complain about tar forcing it to quit early but that's exactly why we pipe it into tar, to kill it when the archive ends, not when the tape ends. dd should print rough statistics on how much was read, in blocks of 512, once it is done...

tcopy - copy a magnetic tape
SYNOPSIS
tcopy source [destination]
DESCRIPTION
The tcopy utility copies the magnetic tape mounted on the tape drive specified by the source argument. The only assumption made about the
contents of a tape is that there are two tape marks at the end.
When only a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape, and displays information about the sizes of records and tape files. If a des-
tination is specified, tcopy makes a copies the source tape onto the destination tape, with blocking preserved. As it copies, tcopy pro-
duces the same output as it does when only scanning a tape.
The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names. For example,
example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b
