I can't even begin to figure out what the problem is, the question is worded 
in such a strange manner with lots of information missing....

1. where do the numbers 2000 and 43000 come from???  2000 * 30 = 60000, size in
	the example is 129, 129 * 8 is about 10000.....

2. What is the blocksize of the tape?? I seem to recall that ansi D tapes give
	the size in blocks (as does directory) and the number of bytes/block 
	varies tape to tape.   Could this be your conversion factor???  If the
	tape was blocked to 10220, this would be a factor of 20, and 15320 would
	be a factor of 30.

3. How was the tape written (and with what utility), how was it mounted?
