Did you try this with part of the cover off so that some room light may have reached the tape hole sensor? What happens if you attempt to rewind the tape?

The tape came in a sealed package. If you look at the bottom of the tape, the the tape had two holes in it in visible where door on the left that flips open, I manually spooled those on to the left reel which was mostly empty to start with. Yes part of the cover is off. The "Rewind" command results in a "Tape End" error also.
