Thanks to all of the people who replied to my request for help. I was able to get the tape read with a program that was mailed to me that at one time had been posted on mod.sources (Volume 7, Issue 99, in case anyone else needs to know).

Apparently the vms backup tape reading program was posted before many of the newsgroups names were changed. The program is in volume 7 of comp.sources.unix. It is archived on uunet.uu.net in comp.sources.unix/volume7/read-vms-backs.Z .
