Most likely your tape drive is /dev/st0, sg0 is probably the changer device. The default device for mt on linux is /dev/tape, but you can also tell it what device to use, such as mt -f /dev/st0 rewind or you can symlink /dev/tape to whatever device it is. Yoiu can check dmesg or your boot messages to see what device your system thinks the tape drive is. BTW, I think Jon had the right idea about your amrecover problem. I overlooked that you were trying to use a tapelabel as the tape device.
