The problem with the mtx status command you did is /dev/sg0 is the
tape drive and not the changer.

Find the correct device for the changer using tapeinfo. Run it one by
one for /dev/sg0 ...

Here is my output for my autochanger:

dev6 ~ # tapeinfo -f /dev/sg5
Product Type: Medium Changer
Vendor ID: 'EXABYTE '
Product ID: 'MAGNUM 224      '
Revision: 'C112'
Attached Changer: No
SerialNumber: '000089000435'
SCSI ID: 3
SCSI LUN: 1
Ready: yes

At minimum the Product Type should be the same for your autochanger
