Hi,
below is our sd.conf.
The baculahost is an amd64 Gentoo-Linux (Gentoo Base System release 
1.12.9 - 2.6.20-gentoo-r8).
In the /usr/include/gentoo-multilib/amd64/sys/mtio.h aren't specific 
values for LTO-2 (the newest is DDS).

mt -f /dev/nst0 status
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=314, block number=0, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x42 (LTO-2).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (81010000):
EOF ONLINE IM_REP_EN

Versions:
mt-st 0.9b
mtx 1.2.18

Do you need any further information?

Best regards

Udo
