Has that kernel been recompiled to 'scan all luns'?

There should be a few more lines below the above clip that show what 
st* devices were assigned.  From the above, I'd guess the changer 
device is now /dev/sg3 maybe.  Experiment a bit, using mtx, and use 
whichever device mtx can use to control the robotics.

Those extra lines in dmesg should look a bit like this:
----

segs 16
