Sco 6 copying problem

We are using GTAR for daily copies of our database using Travan cartridges (Tapestor drive)and are having intermittent problems. Some days it does not copy and we can't figure out why. Sometimes it seems to be hanging and a tape status command doesn't return anything. Other times it doesn't copy but tape status reports everything as ok. Any ideas?

NAME
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 ATTRIBUTES
