The cause for the crash was the BUG() statement in ll_rw_blk.c (if you have the sources installed you could look there what was the problem there). Seems something in the tape block device didn't go too well. But first of all. Is it really intentional to use the block device at all? Why not using /dev/rtibm* for the restore? The problem itself doesn't seem to be tied to the 3590 but to the tape block device (which was originally intended to ro-mount an iso-image on tape).
