I assume you are trying to use a standard SCSI library and not the ACSLS
managed one, right?

First of all check if your library is working with standard mtx utility
(i.e. mtx -f /dev/sg0 status). If not, solve it in the first place as
Bacula is using mtx to manage tape cartridges in your library.
Then check if a standard bacula mtx-changer script is working with the
command: listall (i.e. mtx-changer /dev/sg0 listall).

The `/dev/sg0` device in the examples above is the scsi generic device for
your changer. To check which device to use, check with lsscsi -g command.

I hope this helps.
