I had a similar problem with my DLT4000 drive. It was caused by unsuitable media. Although the tapes seemed to be suitable for DLT4000 drives there were preformatted in some kind; I bought tapes from diffferent manufacturer, and they do fine. I studied the documentation of my drive which explains the "Vendor Specific ASCQ" im some way so that I got the idea to use other tapes.
