Are you saying no tape activity is going on until this last line?
That's definitely not right (and not what I see on my systems).

Were you looking at the amdump.<NN> file to deduce this?  And at the
"FILE-WRITE" commands from taper to dumper?  Here's a command that cuts
down the chit-chat to the important stuff:

  egrep '^driver:.*(DONE|FILE-)' amdump.<NN>

If you want to convert the delta timestamps to real time, throw this
script in the pipeline:
