Easily done, but you want to use the non-rewinding device (/dev/nst0) and use
the 'mt' progtram to go to the next index mark on the tape. 

For instance:

dump to /dev/st0 /home will write /home on the beginning of the tape. If you 
then dump to /dev/st0 /work, you'll overwrite /home on the tape. What you 
need to do is adjust your script so that you either dump to /dev/nst0 the 
second time, so that it writes /work after the end of /home, or put in a
'mt /dev/nst0 fsf 1' which skips to the first index mark, and doesn't then 
rewind the tape. Then you can dump /work.
