Rather than an mt format, I would recommend a:
mt rewind
mt weof
mt rewind
that ensures you have a blank tape and that it is positioned at the beginning
of the tape.

The thing to do at this point, if you have mounted what you consider to be a
valid tape is to do in bconsole:
mount storage=DLT4000
status storage=DLT4000
and see what tape the SD thinks is mounted, and the exact reason is that it is
waiting ...
