OK, I think I just found out that sg is NOT loaded. From the forums for
the application someone posted:

I have sg loaded, i.e.:
# lsmod | grep sg
sg 29973 0 ll /dev/sg*
scsi_mod 191405 4 sg,libata,sd_mod,sr_mo

But when I do the same thing I get no results.

Now I have to figure out how to install sg. Synaptic doesn't list it,
at least not by the name 'sg.' Google doesn't know either, at least I
have not been able to get Google to divulge the secret.
