Dan, is the changer attached to one of the PERC controllers (which I 
believe are RAID controllers)?

If so, the note in the above mentioned Dell doc (SCSI Bus Requirements) 
  may be the answer:

"NOTE: The autoloader may not work with multiple SCSI LUNS when attached 
to a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controller. The 
autoloader is not recommended for use with a RAID controller. If this 
problem occurs, it is recommended that the autoloader be attached to a 
separate SCSI bus controller on the server."
