I found why there's no BLK_START_OF_TAPE or BLK_START_OF_BACKUP headers in the tape stream

In libmondo-archive.c at line 1183

	if (IS_THIS_A_STREAMING_BACKUP(bkpinfo->backup_media_type)) {
		write_header_block_to_stream((off_t)0, "start-of-tape",
BLK_START_OF_TAPE);
		write_header_block_to_stream((off_t)0, "start-of-backup",
BLK_START_OF_BACKUP);
	}

but in write_header_block_to_stream in libmondo-stream.c at line 1764 it
says:

	if (length_of_incoming_file <= 0) {
		return(1);
	}

so neither of these header blocks are written to the tape.

PS did you get my post with verify.rar attached?  It got held for moderation
with the message:

	Message body is too big: 413074 bytes with a limit of 400 KB

PPS lots of places I see code like 
	for (i = 0; i < (int) TAPE_BLOCK_SIZE; i++) {
		tempblock[i] = 0;
	}
I'm curious what you have against memset()?
