ontape in HP-UX

I'm trying to use 'ontape -s -L 0' to do a full backup of the Database to tape, but it allways returns with a 'Tape is full' message. I'm using HP-UX 10.10, do I need a special tapeblock size ? The DAT cartridge is new and I can use it with tar, etc.

I wrote a perl script that assigns named pipes to stdin and stdout. It reads messages and responds accordingly, after I have the operators mount the n-th tape. It works with any number of tapes (one server backs up to 15 tapes).
