Hi admins!

Thaks to Salvador Ramíres, Thomas Blinn, Robert Honore, John Tan and all
the persons who respond my answer.

The problem was that I have a multi-file tape, when I tried to download
a some file I can´t do this in a spefic directory, the solution was:

1) mt -f <tape_device> rewind # to rewind the tape
2) mt -f <tape_device> fsf 1 # to forward the tape past the first
image
3) cd <directory> # change default to where you want to restore
files to.
4) tar xvfs <tape_device>

Thaks.
