I have exactly the same LT04 autoloader.

# lsscsi -g     
[0:0:0:0]    disk    Areca    ARC-1220-VOL#00  R001  /dev/sda   /dev/sg0
[0:0:16:0]   process Areca    RAID controller  R001  -          /dev/sg1
[1:0:0:0]    tape    QUANTUM  ULTRIUM 4        2210  /dev/st0   /dev/sg3
[1:0:0:1]    mediumx DELL     PV-124T          0075  /dev/sch0  /dev/sg4
[2:0:0:0]    cd/dvd  TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223C  SB01  /dev/sr0   /dev/sg2

You will note that the tape (ULTRIUM 4) and autoloader (PV-124T) are on
different devices. On my machine, I address the tape at /dev/nst0, while the
autochanger is at /dev/sg4.

You can try the following stanza (assuming the correct tape and autochanger
device paths and nothing is currently loaded in slot 1):

export ADEV=/dev/sg4
export TDEV=/dev/nst0
mtx -f ${ADEV} status && mtx -f ${ADEV} load 1 && mt -f ${TDEV} status

I'm using the tape library on a SAS card and achieving about 100MB/s throughput
with hardware compression.
