Sounds like confirmation of what I suggested in the reply I just sent in to that other post. If the transport is off (the parts of the cassette that guide the tape material across the heads), it will usually correct itself while the tape is being pulled across the rollers. Before re-ripping, make sure the tape material is in the right place within the transport on the cassette.
