1.5.12: mt sees incorrect maximum block size


when I attempt to set the correct block size with mt (or try to do so with tar) I am unable to do so.
mt status 2 reports a maximum block size of 65535, whereas the windows driver and the winTarSCSI utility both report a much larger maximum block size of 16777214 

I can use the winTarSCSI utility to write tapes with a block size of 262144, but tar under cygwin will not write with a block size larger than 65535.

I have tried reinstalling the tape driver and reinstalling cygwin.
I'm using cygwin 1.5.12, mt 2.3, tat 1.13.25.
Installed on Windows XP professional, Service Pack 1.
PIII, 800Mhz, 1GB ram.

Why is cygwin seeing this incorrectly and how do I fix it? 

below I've pasted my cygcheck file
