The messages state a "Media Not Present" error, on top of two TUR 
conditions.

Do any of these correlate to you changing the tapes?

The '65536-byte tape record' message  is interesting. For some reason, 
sa is receiving a write that is no 64K in size, and the tape is in 
'fixed' 64K block mode.

Can you send the output of 'mt -f /dev/nsa1 status' with a tape loaded.

More than that I'll have to dig up a tape drive and attach it- I haven't 
used on on FreeBSD in years.
