Drop the -z when trying to get the table of contents off the tape, it is looking for gziped contents. Tar will only show the filename when it writes it to tape. It may also write out a byte count when its done, but it's been a long time since I used a tape with tar.
If the -tf shows that the file is on the tape, try to extract it to a new directory with -xvf

Cannot trace file writing
