Any hints on how to get the files off of a SDLT tape created by Solaris
ufsdump?

I can access the tape handily:
$ mt -f /dev/st0 status 3
tape capacity    : 34571200 KB          remaining        : 34571200 KB
current block    :        0             write protected  :      yes
datcompression   :      off
min block size   :        4             max block size   : 16777212
def block size   :     8192             cur block size   :        0

write shrt filem.:  no                  set EOT warn size:  no

and I did the "mt -f /dev/st0 setblk 0" 

but what command do I use to pull the data onto disk?
