SONY AITe130-UL: always rewinds on close

I've recently purchased and installed the Sony AITe130-UL, which is a
USB/Firewire version of their ATI-2 SCSI drive. It gets detected correctly
as umass0 and the sa0 device gets created. The mt command seems to work,
except for writing EOF marks. The tape drive rewinds each time the device
is closed, EVEN WHEN USING /dev/nrsa0.

Is this a SCSI quirk or question or a USB mailing list question. FWIW, I'm
using FreeBSD 4.9 (cvsuped from yesterday.)
