Nope, as it turns out, the data lives at block #3.

Manually doing a small dump to tape (tar -cvf /dev/nst0 /etc) works
fine, but the 2am flexbackup job in cron fails, as does executing the
E-Smith backup script from the command line. The error message looks
like it's saying that buffer can't open /dev/nst0, but tar doesn't have
any such problem.
