vrestore issue

Hi all,

Machine is 2100, running Unix V 4.0G, attached to it a DLT Tape Drive.
I managed to install the SCSI Card and the tape drive, they work fine
except for one problem.
I was testing it, made a vdump for all our drives using command
#vdump -0 -u -f /dev/nrmt0h /mnt_points

works fine all the way, BUT
When I try to make a restore to check the backup using command
#vrestore -i (or even -t)
It gives me the following error:

vrestore: unable to use save-set; invalid or corrupt format
************* PROGRAM ABORT **************
vrestore: can't obtain fileset attributes

I looked at the archives where one suggested a reboot for the machine,
which I did, but nothing happened and I got the same error while
reading.
I even make'd the device, built and reconfigured the kernel again, but
had the same error.
I think there is something happening while reading, so I can write fine
to the tape but get errors reading it.
FYI: I have checked the backup I made using another machine and the
backup is good, so it is not the tape.

Any Suggestions or remedies will be appreciated?
