This version of ftape does not compile with the 2.2.X series of kernel.
The good news is that the kernel comes with 3.04d. All you have to do is:
insmod "insert path here"/ftape.o
insmod "insert path here"/zftape.o
The ftformat command that comes with ftape-tools 1.07 doesn't work either.
You have to use ftformat 1.0 which I believe comes with an older version
of ftape-tools or might even be in the ftape contrib directory that comes
with the kernel. I'm not at my Linux system right now so I cannot look up
exact stuff.
