It should be \\.\Tape<x>:, where x=0 is the first tape, x=1 the second,
and so on. These are mounted to /dev/<x>.
$ mount
...
\\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native no-mixed,text=binary
\\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native no-mixed,text=binary
...
Unfortunately it doesn't work with the current release.
I don't know why.

Bye.
