Are you sure /dev/sg0 is the changer?

Use tapeinfo to tell you. For me its now /dev/sg5 but that will change
when drives are added or removed from the system.

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

I use a udev rule to create a /dev/autochanger1 device that will
always point at the right device then use /dev/autochanger1 in bacula.
