Can anyone offer some insight as to what I am seeing here, or if I should be doing something about it?
Thanks,

Actually, it is happening on two machines.
The only thing I know of that we have changed, is we added the contrib for the flexbackup.

yep, i get the same thing with my SME5.5U2 and Seagate 20GB drive. however, i have successfully restored files from various tapes. i don't know why these errors happen. i'm not worrying about it.
you might want to ask darrell may - he is clearly the expert in this area...
