This is good. mtx can talk to the library.
Googling for: mtx Illegal Request
I found: http://adsm.org/lists/html/Bacula-users/2011-07/msg00084.html
You may be using the wrong device. That is, the wrong sg.
Try tapeinfo -f device (see the above URL for details).
In addition, this URL (my website) contains a detailed procedure for getting a
tape library up and running with mtx-changer (the Bacula script). It may be
useful.

Is the SCSI chain properly terminated? This is my standard question with tape
drive problems.
What version of mtx?

I suggest ignoring Bacula until you get mtx working. That's the key issue.
