Aha,

Ok, I've aborted my script which had only been running a short while and I'll run this overnight and see what happens at the end.
Just ran a short test for a few minutes (90mb worth on the tape) and the tracefile was under 3meg, so I am hoping that my 140gig available diskspace will be enough...

Ouch, sorry, I meant "strace -o tracefile shred -v /dev/st0".
