I'm not sure what the problem is, but what you are doing is meant do be 
done with rmt.  You can still use ssh, but instead of dd handling the 
tape the rmt utility will do it.
You get other benefits too, like the ability to catalog your backups 
with xfsinvutil, and xfsdump/xfsrestore can handle moving between 
different tape files (filemarks).
