specs for DLT2000

Does anyone have the proper specs for using a DLT2000 with dump on
a DECstation 5000/200 running Ultrix 4.4? I tried 1170 feet and
a density of 62500 (which is the bpi/track). Then tried
dump 0dfsu 62500 /dev/nrmt1h 1170 /usr

and the result was that after several minutes it said it wanted another
tape (this for a 277MB filesystem). It had also said it was going to
need 1.74 tapes. It seems to think the tape is a TK50 or something.
As far as I know the tape I inserted was a standard DLT CompacTape III.
What did I do wrong? Also, what do people usually use for a blocking
factor (b) for DLT2000's? It also seemed it was taking a while
compared to what I expected...

Thanks for any help.
