Verifying Tape Writes

We had thought that printing out a catalog of a tape's
contents prooved that the tape would be restoreable:
cpio -itvB </dev/tape
In practice, we have found that the above commamd completes
with success (repeatably) in instances where the tape proved
(repeatably) unrestoreable.
Any suggestions?
