You have both sets of drivers loaded at once. That won't do what you
want. You need to build without the old IDE layer.

Aha!

Removing the older IDE drivers completely restored the use of the st driver.

I'm attempting a backup using libata and st now.

Maybe I don't need ide-tape afterall.

Thanks!
