USB passthrough to DAT320 Tape drive

Hi. Im trying to use tha above. however i keep getting write errors. i have tried the tape drive on 2 VMs get the same issue.

Im using backup exec to perform a backup of files. i am able to lable tapes correctly but backups seem to fail with a hardware error all the equipment is new. i have tried the tape drive on a pysical server which works fine.

Does anyone have any suggestions? i have the same setup on another system which works fine.

Cheers
