You haven't installed the tape mount point.

I use the same tape device on both workstations (EXB8500 with hardware compression). The tape is written to /dev/rmt/0mbn (medium capacity) on the Solaris workstation. Maybe I need to configure cygwin to use medium capacity, but how do I do that?

Use Cygwin's mt.
