I figured that part out, and running mtx -f /dev/sg0 inquiry then again for sg1 showed that my drive was on sg0 and the autoloader was on sg1. All the mtx and amtape commands work when being run as the root user, so I don't think this is a configuration file issue. I think it's more of a setup

I found it. It was udev causing the problems, which I can only thing must be a problem for many SuSE users running amanda with tape changers out there. In /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules there is a line to create sg* devices like: KERNEL=="sg*" NAME="%k", GROUP="disk", MODE="640"
