Hi Tracy,
It marked the 1st tape as "bad", so I cleaned the tape drive and tried again.It marked that brand new tape as "bad" too.
(sigh)

I hate when that happens. I keep a spare drive.
Sometimes a cleaning tape will cure it. You have to be willing to
sacrifice another tape to find out.
In those case I also run the cleaning tape 3 times in a row.
