Yes it does. Well maybe. /dev/sg1 (my changer) and /dev/sg2 (my tape drive) are symlinks. The symlinks themselves don't have the correct permissions, but the targets of the symlinks do have the correct permissions.
I have nada experience with a changer, but I believe that you access a tapedrive of a changer to read/write/rewind etc through the "st" kernel module, and hence you need to access the /dev/st0 (or whatever number gave the kernel). The changer mechanism (advance slot, etc) is accessed through the generic scsi module "sg", and needs the /dev/sg1 device to interact.
Of course I could be wrong.
