/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules does have an entry:
KERNEL=="nst[0-9]", BUS=="scsi", SYMLINK+="tape-%k", MODE="0660"
and I do have /dev/nst0. Does it need something else?

Looking at this rule, you probably have something like /dev/tape-0
instead of /dev/tape. The %k is replaced with the kernel number, so
that /dev/nst0 gets a /dev/tape-0 symlink. /dev/nst1 would get
/dev/tape-1, and so forth.

Actually it is making tape-nst0 -> nst0, but that doesn't help
much.

Change the rule to:

KERNEL=="nst[0-9]", BUS=="scsi", SYMLINK="tape%k", MODE="0660"

and I'll bet it works.
