Rewinding tapes

Hiya
I've written a small script that backs up data to a tape, rewinds it,
then reads back the data that was stored as a test.
The problem I've run into is that 'mt rewind' is asynchronous, and
subsequent tape operations will fail until the rewind operation has
finished.
Is there a way to find out when the tape has finished rewinding, or at
least to rewind synchronously? The drive is an ATA Seagate STT2401A.
Cheers,
--Jon
