FC3: ide tape problem with kernel 2.6.10

[Craig Goodyear]

I have recently updated my FC3 kernel from 2.6.9-1.667 to 
2.6.10-1.766_FC3.  The system has had all available updates applied.  I 
am using a Seagate STT8000A ATAPI tape drive for backup.  I am loading 
the ide-scsi module.  Prior to the update, tar and dump both worked 
without any problems using this tape drive.

Since the kernel update, tar and dump appear to write the files to the 
tape drive: no error messages are generated during the write and the 
tape is positioned at the correct block following the write.  However, I 
am not able to restore any of the backup files to the hard disk.  Using 
tar, no errors are returned, and no files are restored.  Using restore, 
the following error is generated: "restore: Tape is not a dump tape."

I can use mt and cpio without any problems.

What do I need to do to get this ide tape drive working with tar and 
dump?  Please help, I am stuck.  I have searched Google and the archive 
of this list without any luck.
