Each block written by WBAK to a tape contains header information in addition
to the data being backed up. There is a UID created for the backup set which
is written in a section of this header info portion, which RBAK uses to verify
that the data it is reading is good, and not a part of something that it
doesn't know about.

Sounds like you may have skipped a block, missed an end-of-file marker, or the
original tape is bad.
